£3.8k for a slightly scrappy Guzzi V65 Lario?

 

In communiqué <1j6eyh1.f7twgi14mc789N%>,

'Kinell. Mind you, have you seen the prices that Morinis (and parts) are
changing hands at? Just sold a surplus to requirements 180mm wire wheel
rear hub to a dutchman. I may well reinstate the 2C/375 again and break
the forgotten error - at least of those bits I am unlikely to ever need.


In any case , aren't the V65s supposed to be fragile - almost as bad as
a Monty?

Not really - I know someone who clocked up 85k on one. The four-valve
head ones (the Lario, in other words) did have valve probs, though.

That's the badger.

Speaking of which, it seems there is a set in next door's orchard. The
blighters are digging FOAD holes in my lawn (after crane fly
larvae/pupae I think) and scraping up the edge of my pond. Must contact
spring watch about an award for the nearest badger's set to a city
centre.

Thats a bargain compared to this:

Blimey.

0 bids.

There's a fuckin' surprise.

My Nordwest is already at £430 with 65 watchers and still 38 hours to
go. Which is equally surprising.

BTW, I also have a complete unused set of plastics and graphics for an
early black/pink model. I haven't a clue what it might be worth. A
rather specialised market, but any ideas?

No idea. My guess is 'not a lot', as I can't see zillions of likely
customers out there.

 

In communiqué <1j6hinh.1yg3ztxo53dxcN%>,

I suppose so. Mind you, there is at least one if I sell the rat bike
nordie, and most of the surviving Nordwests have cracked or damaged tank
plastics.

I'll probably just stick them on Ebay, though when I did that with a
Saturno radiator I later discovered Bob Wright would have given me more
for it.
