    depends on what they come up with..I would counter with maybe 5 or 6 hundy. Its probably a runnable bike, but its gonna need a few G worth of work to get it back to real nice shape.


    Be sure they can provide you with ALL yhe paperwork you will need to not get shanked with a STILL STOLEN BIKE. I would suggest a letter from the real owner with something stating he doesnt wish for it back.

    I am not sure on what NY laws are regarding a stolen vehicle and someone else ( salvage yard ) trying to sell it. Local cop can probably provide you with contact info to the PO. Or at least a police report on it ??

    I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.

          That's just before I started Chuck. The guy with the muttons, 5th from the left, was to become my chief mechanic and sidecar pilot (John) and the other guys all worked in shops within 20 or so miles. All great lads and as mad as hatters.

          None of those shops are still going - bloody shame, those were great days.

                  How many spark plugs? one per cylinder maybe? Oh no, that's not right, it has no cylinders so you shouldn't need spark plugs. Oh yea, without plugs the fuel won't fire so the engine won't run, But there's no cylinders for the plugs to fit into so where would you put the plugs??? Gosh I'm soooooo confused.
