I quite like it. Apart from the wavy discs and the tail.

Oh and the Dymags, which will fall apart and you will die.

And the braded hoses which will file their way through everything....

i know that bike, Jerry from down Southampton did it all when he was the original owner, he sold a year ago as he is big into motocross. Love it or hate it, it's actually been done very well with good attention to detail!


Yeah I spoke to Jerry when he was selling it but couldn't get to the price he wanted. It is a very special bike. The wording from the scam ad is correct. He needed to sell the Buell because he had snapped the frame on his hybrid Kx500 motocross monster. There is a video of that somewhere on you tube. Still not worth the £5895 price but £2100 thats worth a flight to Nigeria to pick it up.

[quote="pash"]Where have you been hiding then?[/quote]

I haven´t been hiding. I´ve been lurking :)

And it´s summer and I work on those gin palace things. So it´s been a bit busy.

Just brought this old girl down from France to Palma. We where minimum for the manning regulations.
Sold, crew gone, and hadn´t moved for two years.
Oily old two stroke Detroit diesels, and 50,000 hours on the gen sets. One running on 2 bar oil pressure, and a few surprises left for us by the old crew. She made it though. :)
Big re-fit for the new owner.
My command also sold. A month to do the handover, then who knows? Thinking about my next move, and looking for something interesting to do...

It´s a vessel you have control over.
