Bloody frustrating, to state the obvious. Would have been the "cherry on the icing". Make a saint swear, that one.



We have some sellers who refuse "point blank" to post, as well.

It can be OK, if you are a local bidder but.

I noticed once in "questions" a seller refusing requests to post. I smelt a bargain.

One piece Japanese "Teknics" race leathers, RRP-$1800. Come on down, mine for $61.
For exactly the same reason. "won't post".

Fuel Tank:
Find/make/lookup a friend/contact in a reputable international shipping/delivery company in the USA (FedEx, et al). Explain exactly what you're doing & why you need to do it (so he doesn't think you're a drugs smuggler - not on this occasion anyway), have the part shipped to them to ship on to you via their company and that might work.
Worth a go?

That American Eagle in Tom Whites collection is the equivalent to a wart on Elle McPhersons nose. ;D

Sprite founder Frank Hipkin has emailed me with comments on the American Eagle in Toms museum. Here's an excerpt from his email..........It's all about detail ;D
'regarding the 405 Eagle in Whites Museum of old motorcycles, as you are already aware of, that model is not true. The main thing wrong is a 2 gallon aluminium tank, the model should be in bright orange or blue Fiberglas, the seat is off the 405 or 250 CC fast back, 1971 onwards. Also the front mudguard would have been a steel chrome plated, would have a steel  bracket attached underneath the forks'

A FEW HOURS LATER:
I've just noticed that the American Eagle is also fitted with Ceriani forks instead of the original Sprite items.
