Yeah it's worth what it sold for.. far more collectible than any std production vintage bike.

yes folks its sold - after 20 plus years of ownership. Im Ok with that and I hope the next guy gets the enjoyment I have had owning it as well.
All a tad sad really but you never "own" anything - you only rent it for the time its in your possesion.

Congratulations and commiserations at the same time.  I prefer to believe we are merely custodians of these bikes.

Never a truer word spoken Dave  :) i imagine it must be mixed emotions for you atm . The RN is an awesome bike and you will always have the memories of resurecting new life into it to all the great racing and CDs you enjoyed with it  ;D

Wow, a lot changed in an afternoon since our chat Dave!

I'm in two minds on this.....sad to see Dave part with something he'd invested lot of heart and soul into but happy to see Dave get some much needed cash flow. We might see the AJS back a little sooner ;D
I hope it remains in Australia and that the new owner doesn't hide the bike under a sheet for the next ten years. ;)
