The Black Widow my first bike build

yamaman

Sorry man, I just don't get what your saying!

Nice bike, congrats! Great cars also, awesome El Camino. Not many of those in Oz, only what people import themselves! Same as most GM's Camaro's, Vette's ect all thin on the ground!

Though we do have some cool home grown muscle cars. Google up HT Monaro some time or SLR Torana or even some of the Ford Falcons (not sure if they are the same as some US cars or not) XW GT, XY GTHO or XB GT! Cheers

I got offered $4,500 for my bike what do you guys think should I sell it

I also just picked up another xs650 it's a 78 and it starts right up I paid 500 for it. Too bad it has a waste of a candy painted tank and side covers that are probably just gonna go in the junk pile

Your right I think it's damn fair but do you think it's an unbelievable price and I should sell now. I mean I don't really want to sell but I hate to pass up a good offer that might never come around again

I thought about that is it okay to sell stuff in here?? I have really good feedback on other websites just didn't look like there was a forsale section looked like a giveaway one

Well I had some bad luck today it was a bad one. I took my bike to this picnic it was out of town and far so I decided to trailer my bike just to show it off. Well when I got there I unloaded it so I can ride it in and people can walk up and look at it. I loaded it back up to go home and thats when it happened. I got a blowout on the trailer causing the bike to jerk hard on the trailer and the tow straps busted. well the bike fell off the trailer at 75 mph and burst into flames and all I could do was watch. Man it was depressing but I"m not gonna give up I'm gonna repair the bike better than before. It'll be a few months before I start working on it again but It'll get done.

Man thats horrible! I'm heading out the shed right now & knocking the top off a cold Tooheys extra dry & having it in your general direction!

Heres to the blackwidow, cheers!

That's really bad luck! Here's hoping most of it is salvageable, and all the best for the rebuild.
Ady.

Aussie650

Ill be joining Yamaman and having a Extra Dry in your direction. Real bad luck man. Lucky no one was hurt I guess. Look forward to the rebuild. Pete

I think you are reading more into what was said than what is actually there, it's a shame about the bike,

What Happened to 650rider.com?
