It's called Northern 'Umour. 

Is the mud and sh1t extra as I can see the price is inflated to take account of the deep seated patina (or rust as it's more commonly called).

Most of the stuff you can see is only fit for the skip, so God knows what the unseen and hidden stuff is like.
Now: 2008 CB1300S, CB750K4, 1970 Bonneville. Various other 1960's 650 Triumph T120's/ TR6's/ TR6C's (all in bits...many, many bits unfortunately). Previous: 2007 CB600FA, 1976 CB500 Four. BMW F800ST. GS750E. ZZR1100. CB1300 (2). ZXR1200S. VFR800. CB750 Nighthawk. CX500. XS500 Yam. Suzuki GT500. BSA A10. Various Lambrettas. Zundapp Bella (honest).

I can see the potential, there's nothing there that a good scrub with Flash and a polish with Mr Sheen won't sort out  ;D

Someone else expecting silly money for a canal find POS because it's a 'fast appreciating classic '.
Looks like one of the deepest money pits I've seen for a while.
Where's that 10mm socket got to?

I can see what's likely to have happened;
It's supposed to say 'stored NEAR a dry barn'. An easy mistake to make with all this auto tie pin and spell chequers.

He says he'll swap for a car or camper van, find one in similar condition for him. A mate of mine does diving in gravel pits, he may have come across a candidate or two.

I did pull a KE175 out of the Grand union canal back in the 80's, cleaned it up and used it as a field bike. Good little runner but, don't think it had been in the water more than a week.
