Stupidly overpriced motorcycle for sale thread

Just crazy. One of mine is a fairly low miles (9500) original bike. I have it insured for $3500 as I haven’t updated the policy in a while. I should talk to the broker.

That's about what they go for. My buddy sold his a couple of years ago for $3K with 17K on the clock.

I have another RD350 LC chassis with an "unplated" ownership at my brothers. It was a bike I had for the VRRA

Its tweaked slightly as the steering head is bent about one degree to the right at the top. I was thinking about dumping it as its just taking up space, but considering what they are going for it may be worth sending it down to Framecrafters and having them pull it back. I should have enough parts lying around to do a bitza project.

There used to be a guy around the Grimsby area that had a MotoLiner. Does anyone know if he is still around?

Tom Roder. Both him and his son Mike worked with me for a while a few years ago. Shuttered his shop after his divorce 2 years ago.

That's the guy. Too bad :(

There seems to be a lot of shops in Europe and the UK that straighten steel frames on a regular basis. My friends 800GS was written off as BMW North America said a bent frame must be replaced, but in Europe the larger BMW dealers provide a frame straightening service. I guess its all about liability.

... or I'll trade you for a straight frame with no ownership (and no hope of getting one) for your bent frame with an ownership

Thanks. I'll reach out.

If I wanted something for the track I would swap it in a second but it would be nice to get another back on the road.
 
Uhhhhh
To be FAIR
1) Steel is pretty elastic. It "wants" to go back to it's original formed shape.
2) That "fix" wasn't that hard. all the bent parts were originally straight. Getting it back to straight is fairly straight forward (pun intended). trying to get back a curve in tube is neigh on impossible.
3) How straight do you think that POS was to begin with?
4) Stop the video at 7:20. It wasn't that straight when he was done beating on it with a BFH, even after the second guy had a go at it with a press

I've fixed worse than that, hell there wasn't even any cut and paste

A well known Canadian racer, that raced Kawi's, before they had reasonable geometry (hint hint) used to take a hack saw to the steering head, cut a couple of slots into the bottom, then drop the frame onto the steering head, weld 'er up and go racin'
The good ol' days....
