Hmm. Hmmmmmm. Anybody up in Leeds?

Preferably someone who'd be able to ogle this thing in person, if it
actually exists:

Have you recently checked if the Pope is still Catholic?

 

You do know what the reserve is likely to be? My guess is £7k.

 

Now that's nice...... I'm in Leeds on Tuesday........

 

You know I work in Leeds mostly?

Nice looking bikes. No idea about the engine but a dealer in town
specialises in them.

 

Probably - but then again, while values did go up they seem to have
plateaud for quite a while now.

 

Ah yes, how could I forget?

Would you mind doing the honours? As to the engines, with rotaries the
important parts are usually easy starting from cold *and* hot, smooth
idle (no stumbling - if a two-rotor sounds like a V8, it's pretty much
fucked) and it should rev easily.

This might be useful.

 

Seems to have been removed?

 

'ere, does anyone else get send to a "sell item" page when clicking on ebay
photos?

new ebay shite is fucked, from where I'm sitting - the URL looks like it
should change the blown-up photo, but it doesn't.

from clicking on "more photos". morons.

 

Thus spake Austin Shackles () unto the assembled multitudes:

I get directed to a page asking me to register or sign in...

 

The URL above wrapped - you need to stick a '1' to the end.

I can still see it from California but given the price it's a little
above my comfort level already.

 

Ah yes.
Timo I assume you have lost interest at this price?

 

I wrote to ebay, but got no sense.

It's an error on that (and maybe other) listings, itr's not on everything.
It's linking to "edit this listing" rather than "change view". eBay are in
chocolate-fireguard territory on this, and as usual incapable of reading an
email message.

 

Pretty much, yes.
