Jesse, I can see by the pictures that the bike is much happier in the capable hands of someone who can appreciate such a fine machine and do it justice. I suspect that you will be a repeat customer of this spoiled brat until he launches himself into oblivion. You did an incredible job. Stories like yours make my day. I am a bicycle restorer. There are some real works of art out there that should be restored--unfortunately there are some that are too far gone. My dream is to find a Vincent in some barn in the boonies that I could get cheap and is restorable.

Loving the blue bike with the blue rim tape, suits it perfectly. Like Miles, I'm surprised the exhaust held up - still a couple of dints and whatnot but probably still sounds the same.
As for that kid, I wish him the very best in riding the R6 - and hope he don't fall off and go splat!

Awesome find and outstanding work.
Crashing a 250 qualifies you to be rewarded with an r6 (maybe a 50 scoot or a BMX)???? I GUESS there are those that do say you aren't really educated until you have crashed, but I get the impression we aren't talking about educated people here - LOL! Was it a salvaged title? |
