The long and the short of it is in the title. What a pain in the ass!!!

I bought a BMW R65LS from a mate of mine for 5k. Around about 5k too much me thinks....I should have just sold the thing off for parts but I've started down this road and now 'in for a penny, in for a pound'.

What I can see when I get the bike:
- Horrendous pink wheels
- Front rim is not original, rear wheel is.
- Missing parts: clocks, switches, front engine cover, front fender.

Pitty I didn’t take a picture of it when I first got it. It was a terrible sight. Like I said, what was I thinking?

Here is the rolling chassis and some of the uglies....
