  1. Pah.

    Lessee, now: exhaust, worth £150-200. Seat about the same. Tank,
    panels... Nice new respoked wheels... All the little things tht you
    can't find these days..

    Oh, and the rack - a genuine 400 Four rack with decent chrome will fetch
    close to a ton....

    The new rear guard - ton and a half.

    Sorry? You were saying?

    Well a previous owner (no not me before you say anything) was putting
    the engine together and had only the head to put back before it was
    pointed out that one piston was the wrong was round. I presume it's a
    runner now which is more than I can say for my Norton. Oh well, perhaps
    this winter may see some progress.

    Look, I'm not discussing this. It's just The Way It Is.

    You can't be trusted, that's all there is to it.

    I know you're disappointed, but you've brought this on yourself.

    Here, have a Werther's.

    Haven't <stomps foot> Wasn't my fault.

    I'm sure we can discuss the nature of "appropriate" later.
    If he hasn't, I'll find something.

    .... and not expensive either, now.

    Basically the same frame as the 125H but nearly double the power.
    Almost as fast as the 3 1/2, smaller, lighter, with better fuel
    consumption.

    I've been after a decent one for a while but they're hard to find.

    Bugger is what I am saying. After getting the finish date wrong and
    missing out on what looks like 1.5 VTs for less than half what I paid
    for my .998 of one

    Bugger and Bugger again.

    That's one way to reduce the number of the ill-handling, gutless piles
    of poo on the road.
