    I've got a '79/'80 RD250 in bits that I'm thinking of getting rid of. I
    think it's 'mostly' there (engine - unknown condition, frame, tank,
    seat, forks, wheels, brakes). I have the log book too.

    From memory I don't think I have any of the header pipes/silencers
    which I think are hard to find.

    Does anyone have a clue what it might be worth, and the best place to
    sell it? Fleabay?

    I am tempted to build it up myself, but I've run out of a) room and b) cash

    TIA

    Yup eBay or the aircooled RD forum might be simpler. 3 or 4 hundred pounds?

    It's rubbish. Donate it to your local Harley owners club, and they'll smash
    it up with sledgehammers and throw it on the bonfire at their next barbecue.

  9. Using the patented Mavis Beacon "Hunt&Peck" Technique, platypus
    Yep. Bit of petrol to get them going, and a nice O2-rich environment,
    and your average pedant goes up a treat.
