TS185 project complete runner 1974 ?

[Freakshow]

the bloke rang me back with his story , i pointed out all its faults and said if he changes his mind i got $100 for him.  Rest is up to him.  I have an advert in a country scap yard and thats where this bloke got my number from off the board, so i figure unless he ebays it who is going to want it, he reckon he has moderns and he know bikes, but i just passed on what you guys said its a bitsa and its only a 185.  ill sit on my hands and if it shows up il let you guys pull it apart to cover the costs.

If someone buys this I'd be keen on the pipe and probably the motor

Cheers

well he wanted $500 and i said $100. thats where i have left it, unless you can come up with a better number i can back to him with thats where this bike stands ATM ... limbo

Also he emailled me the pics, its in the country so until i go out there and look at it i know FUC all about it, he swears it has a fat spark, but like i said "he knows bikes" so what that flags to me is i need to see it first ill make that jugdement when i see it running

Freaky, Tell him to flog it off to NASA seein its that much of a rocketship.

 My first 185  sent me back $460 and that had 6mnths rego and a pair of S&W shocks on it

 I sincereley hope he enjoys owning and riding his bike for many years to come.

I thought you might stick your hand up Brent I might have some more bits for you if so I'll send them off with Doc. Are you running 30mm forks

[Freakshow]

IM hearing ya. i expect reality will check in for him soon enough. funny thing was on the phone when he started describing the tank i was thinking, scoop , nice TM 250 here for $500, till the pictures brought me crashing back to earth :O)

Speaking of 30mm forks, I picked up a really nice pair of TM forks from the US the other week for a whopping $5.99! I see them all the time get passed in for next to nothing so I thought bugger it, I want!!. Add $60 postage and I now have a pair of unmarked original forks that still have nice factory clear coating on the lowers that I would not get here for under a $100.

Brent before I head to CD5 could you do a list of the bits and names I'll be collecting from? I had the list but for the life of me I can't find it now and my emails have been cleared out

[brent j]

Jimson, 30mm forks yes please. Let me know what you want for them.
I'm short on forks for my TM185 project.

Doc, I'll PM the details when I get home. Not suposed to be using the internet for this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks guys

[Freakshow]
