        definitely a project bike. Does it even turn over? How long has she been deserted there? looks like quite awhile. It is wasn't six hours away and a divorce in the making.....

          looks almost as rough as il barrachino when I bought her (I paid 75 bucks) but that one has carbs mine didn't ($150) but my seat was in better condition, just as ugly, but in better condition, no more than a c-note, provided it has a valid title. if the cat wants rid of it, he'll come correct. have a nice day and ride safe

          if I didn't have so many irons in the fire I might be inclined to have a bash, too much to do, not any time to do them HANDARS

              That's the wrong distance to end up on a trip odometer

              A good name for the bike would be "Grim Reaper".

                      Well, yeah you can polish a turd... but all you end up with is a shiny turd.
