Title: What does time warp mean?
Post by: andy120t on May 05, 2023, 06:02:41 PM: Funny cut-and-paste url, if it works.

What does 'time warp condition' mean? To me it means original, unrestored and in good nick. I may be wrong, but this look fully restored, so I'm just interested to see how others interpret 'time warp'? And is this restored or not?

Repro tax disc means nothing. Mot history shows a few 'schoolboy errors'. Time warp means the same as 'WOW' and barn find - bugger all! Cables still original grey (ish). I suppose if you had one 'back in the day' and too much money then someone will bite.

He offered us (Eamon and me) an NR750 once. £85k.

It's been restored for certain.

L reg and in blue.

That’s a later version with different exhaust and paint so wouldn’t be interested anyway

With a bit of dust and a few cobwebs it becomes a barn-find too, then you can name your price.☺☺

Anyone know where the brochure picture was taken? It's an impressive hall.

I'm sure it's in Sussex somewhere, maybe Arundel 🤔 I'm sure I've seen it in real life.

There's a church as part of a private school campus in Sussex that looks similar, from loose recall.

It's a stunning piece of architecture.

Post by: andy120t on May 06, 2023, 06:41:55 PM: I found another one ...looks really cute! But I guess if you take the cost of a 'project' like this and add the cost of shiny new bits/ plating/ chroming and a Honda key-ring, then the other one looks ballpark. It's just odd to call it time warp rather than fully restored. Potentially you could run the project bike with the rust (I would) as that is far more time warp!

Title: Re: What does time warp mean?
Post by: Oddjob on May 06, 2023, 09:23:14 PM: I think they call it Time Warp as you'd instantly be transported back to the 70s as soon as you saw or sat on it.
Title: Re: What does time warp mean?
Post by: Rozabikes Tim on May 07, 2023, 08:11:34 AM: I think it means reach for those rose tinted glasses.
Title: Re: What does time warp mean?
Post by: McCabe-Thiele (Ted) on May 07, 2023, 08:35:43 AM: The true meaning of time warp is only understood by old minds that have become warped due to the passage of time known as ageing.
Nostalgia gives us those rose tinted specs so we only see the good for fleeting moments. These time blips last fractions of a second as our memories travel at warp speed from present to past then back to the present.😎😎😎
