Right. If I wasn't emigrating, I'd never sell this old beast.
I bought it on the forum, and did a full rebuild.

She had a new clutch from Runner a couple of months ago, and new rubber too, knobblies. Second-hand set of Siracs that were on her that still have about 70% use left included.
She starts first kick, occasionally second kick. (typical female) She runs like a train, pops the front wheel up in second like Chuck Norris taking out a baddie. She's fully licensed and registered in my name, and should pass roadworthy no worries. I took her down to the eastern Transvaal last year, she never missed a beat, kept up with the rest of the guys on their more modern singles.
I have over R35k invested in her, but lets be real, she's worth a LOT more.
eepwall:
Ok, she's worth a lot more to ME.
But we have to be real here. So lets say that I'll consider offers around R25k.
I'm still at work in Lesotho, I'll be home Wednesday evening, so if you want to come look, or take a ride, it will be after that. I'll try get to my laptop a bit later today and post some pics of her. But please, keep in mind, this is real old-school bike porn! So if I get banned because of them, tough luck!
