The big day has finally arrived and the bike is here. First look brings on the thought "why do we do this to ourselves". ;D Wont have any time for it until Sunday as it's the Manchester bike show tomorrow.
But on a brief inspection, although rough most things on it are repairable and there doesn't appear to be any major damage. There's several missing parts and the rims look like they may be too far gone to re-chrome. It's clearly been sat for a very long time but the good news is that the engine turns freely on the kickstart. I will dig deeper on Sunday and post some pictures.
My main concern is the fact the drive chain is missing and somebody has tried to take the engine out, so just hoping there hasn't been a chain break that's damaged the cases. The bike appears to be just loose assembled so maybe the owner was going to break it for parts and found it was harder than expected. Hopefully that's the case or why else were they taking the engine out? If the crank cases are okay I think it will turn out to be a good purchase.
