Parts or project Melbourne

[excess.11]

I find it very hard to believe this bike has only done the 1811kms as reported.
The bike has gone under restoration at some stage of its life.........due to the double pinstriping on the side cover.
It goes without saying that if they were the true kms......it certainly would nt be in this condition.
I ve asked the guy selling to report the matching numbers...................with no reply.
I see a basketful of parts in dubious condition due to  exposure to the weather.
But....we have seen worse...restored to respectable bikes.

Rust never sleeps.......nor does corrosion.
It would seem this sale along with many other items of various descriptions comes from the estate of a collector who left said goods out in the weather .

 by the look of it,  it,s hard to believe it was running in 09,

must of used it for a boat anchor in the river since then
