Well thank you all very much. Allow me to introduce to you
the latest compulsion purchase, from a dubious source, with less than pedigreed papers. But it kind of starts, won't run, suspect fuel pump and despite high K's, sounds good, is black (needs repainting) brakes work, newly up holstered gel seat and cost $1,000.00. Just something about him that said BUY ME.
And as SWMBO has figured out that I'm at my best when busy figuring out why things don't work, viola, there it is.
Nice luggage and back tyre,
As I have heard so many times before, WHAT HAVE I DONE.
This will be a long and painful thread.
The frame says Lt, the bars say LT, the fairing says RT, the glovebox surrounds say AAAAAAARRRGH holes everywhere. I'm not sure, when I get my glasses on and in sunlight I might get the vin number sorted.
The plenum has been removed so that the old owner can sprinkle some fuel in and crank it up, god forbid some crap went in there over the last few days.
And the BMW plaque on the left hand side crankcase is RED can you believe it. Must go like the clappers.
and then there is that cloudy windshield.
You may all now laugh in unison.
