Score!!!

 

[Tom O]

Nice! The last score I had was mid 70’s for my 63 BSA 350 single I bought it for $75. not running when I got home I grabbed the spark plug and gave it a kick recieving a constant shock it just needed a condenser.

 

[DavidR8]

Bit of a sad story really.
Fellow had a stroke five years ago and passed away a month back. Had a 2006 Triumph T100 (sold) the 1980 Honda CB400T and this beauty 1978 BMW R80/7 for $4000. I'd love an older Beemer but 4K was a bit much for my pocket book at the moment.

 

[Tom O]

First bike I rode was buddies 750 BMW 1972 I think.

Good lord man you find some good deals. Way to go!

Sometimes it pays to lurk on FB Marketplace

 

[Janger]

I think your Honda is much nicer than the beamer. Especially so at 10% of the price.

 

[YotaBota]

Nice scoop.
If you come across an RD350 for that price I'm in! I had an RD200 years ago and loved it but the RD350 would be the icing.

I'll keep my peepers peeled. Those are rare beasts though.

 

[YotaBota]

I think I've seen two for sale in the last ten(ish) years. My RD200 had solid foot pegs and I had a windy road to go home, the pegs were worn down to nubs. lol

 

[DavidR8]

Old tire off, new tire on.

 

[DavidR8]

And rear is done too.

 

[YotaBota]

Will it be a keeper or a flipper?

It’s a keeper, it will go to my soon to be 15 year old step child.

 

[Tom O]

I hope you wait till he’s passed that invincible stage.

 

[DavidR8]

I’m sure everyone remembers those silly “No Fear” stickers from a few years back.
Well if they had one custom made it would say “Lots of Fear”.
I expect they will be very careful.

@Tomc938
Here’s a .050 cut on a boring bar shank. Cutting it down so it will fit in a B size tool holder for @Birkhoff
