I agree - in the long run he probably did you a favour.
He is entitled to make a lowball offer, but he then went on to insult you. And he’s not man enough to apologise! He’s a chop in my eyes.
I’m glad that you rode her like she deserved to be ridden!
I have also enjoyed following your threads on Bettie- not so much the mess with the 2stroke guy!
I still drive into my garage and miss not seeing “Bettie”.
My advise to you is not to sell her. Put her on your showroom floor, marked not...
The previous owner says no. NO NO NO! She is an old classic with lots of charm - keep her like that. If you start spoiling her she will start giving you trouble.
Today's youth are misguided.
I did a full restore on this bike last year. Now that the project is complete the bike is standing in my garage and not being ridden - my plan is to probably sell it and upgrade my Mountain Bike.
What selling price do you think will be fair? Total cost to me was around R55 000. I see that...
Your WR project looks awesome!
My '84 XT600 Tenere Restoration. I still have the bike and ride her around the block every 2 to 3 weeks - what a waste! All in I spent just over R50k - not sure what the current value would be if I sold.
