But I love 'em!

A restoration a few years back, sold in 6 hours for good money. REALLY should have kept it.

Engine started easily too....so I CAN do 2 strokes!

A friend of mine who s from Holland originally said his brother had inherited a family farm,and the barn was full of unrestored classic bikes.He took the first plane home to share in the windfall,unfortunately it turned out the barn was full of horrible mopeds....Mobylettes,Terrots,Pugeots,and other assorted rubbish,not the Nortons and Gold Stars he was expecting.He had prebooked a shipping container to bring all the "classics" home......so he needed something else to fill it......He rang me to collect it on arrival,which I did.....it was full of old furniture and machinery.......He rang and said"Its clog making machinery"......I said " What kind of clocks ,cuckoo clocks"....No not clocks ,clogs".....
