Yikes,

Looks like someone rubbed. It down for paint, found a hole then gave up.

Onto the next unsuspecting punter.

Regards
Dave

Was it originally red or yellow? If red not worth it but if yellow it will undoubtedly be a bolt on performance part and as such is vastly underpriced imho.......😉

I think it was RUST first😂, but no problem as it does say ‘Buy with confidence’ on the web site 🤣
 Confident that you are having your pants pulled down I would say.

Mount it on a pedestal, exhibit it in a modern art museum entitled "Tanks for the Memory - Rust in Peace".  Should fetch a decent price, then go and buy something worthwhile.

looks like mine apart from the paint, the holes and the shape.  I'm sitting on a gold mine!

You guys taking the p… out of this fine exhibit of neglect! Although I fear it ain’t going to fuel a lot of interest.😜

Guess you have to ride like Ron Haslam and get home before all the fuel has drained away.  Happened to me once - gonads and left thigh soaked in petrol and feeling quite chilled.  None standard seat base had rubbed though the bottom left corner.

I hate to think what a spark could have done to your manhood Dave, but this song springs to mind!  :o  : https://youtu.be/0VJ1NuAbEBI?si=TYEZ6q6d9CrBcD6z

Something similar occured to Nigel Mansel when he drove the Lotus GP car in his first FI race. The fuel tank split and he was bathed in petrol for a lot of the race. When he got out of the car his skin had stuck to the inside of his race suit.

Had a fuel leak on a Gpz1100. Blocked return valve for the DFI caused the return pipe to split. Stopped at a red light and saw a steady jet of fuel hosing the car next to me.....Riding along, it blew all over my leg. Stopped...it hosed whatever was to my right. Lucky I had a full tank and not too far to go!
