Go on popsicle....you know you want it....hey, your scabby passenger wanted a rear guard for your shopping trolly and it's been in my van for 1 week now.....I might have to put it out on the pavement for the council to pick up. Tell him to hurry up.

Out of curiosity....I've got two genuine Thor/ Wheelsmith swingarms (not replicas)like on Bills fine looking Maico. I've had one of them for about 12 years and the other about 5 years. What kind of money do they go for these days?
