There's nothing that Mikeyboy's blasting cabinet couldn't fix.

Except it’s not reached it’s reserve yet.
Perversely appealing

Haha I met the owner last year up the top of Scotland. I recognized the other bike in the picture. He had a similar gps unit on his r80 “special “.

1,700 is about right, seen worse bikes advertised for five or six times that.
