Re: A bit of a road trip
The frame paint is really bad. This whole patch looks like it had brake fluid spilled on it.

Re: A bit of a road trip
The fairing has been cut and has signs of other butchery. It did come with a spare, which I will fit during reassembly.
It does have some marks in the paintwork, not sure what to do about them.

Re: A bit of a road trip
The brakes of course need to be rebuilt. There is a fair bit of pitting in the chromework. Maybe it will clean up, I will test clean a few spots.

Re: A bit of a road trip
I was waiting patiently to see the word "motorcycle" again. I figured it's gotta be something special since it's a pretty good hike to get to it.
And then I saw it wasn't an Egli Vincent.
