On every level . The bike was originally built many years ago and had a feature article about it ( can you believe that ? FFS ) .
Somebody told me about the bike being located up in Liverpool and the owner was building another 'Special' and wanted to sell his 'first love' so I had to go and see it for myself.
I bought it - thought it should be buried and hidden away for ever . And yes he was building another - he showed me the perfectly rebuilt engine under the bed and then I saw the frame wrapped in Christmas paper and tinsel on top of a wardrobe. The wording along the swing arm had been engraved and reflected his deep hatred for his ex wife. It hung on the lounge wall above a dirty water tank full of dead fish.
I cannot imagine his mental torture but I left the house quite scared......
Phil dismantled it for me and threw it away.

Re: Disgusting
I'mI know I'm gonna have nightmares after seeing that monstrous creation.
Look, my paintwork hasn't got "Fish scales" they're "Dragon scales" right!!! However, after some thought, I will accept "Black Marlin" or "Swordfish", but definitely not "Haddock" or "Cod".

Wow, that is just beautiful......

NOT.
I think I just threw up in my mouth. That is one ugly rusty POS, IMHO
Maybe it has potential if the monoshock is sound, maybe keep the frame and swingarm and wheels. Not even sure I'd keep them...
Seat looks like a replica RCB Honda that has been hacked around, so perhaps that could be sold to a Honda owner. Katana tank looks ugly on a katana and doesn't exactly enhance the looks of that beast.
Maybe just strip it and recycle it, or gift it to someone to do that. Any spare parts on that worth keeping?

Re: Disgusting
Money well spent.
Hopefully the engine may be of use to someone - although if it has been done with as much 'love' as the rest, mebbe not.
Reminds me of the ex though.
Similar result - best money I ever spent.
No help from Phil though - I did the 'honours meself.'
I worked as a commissioning engineer for a cremator manufacturer at the time - she never knew how lucky she was.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. You should have sold it to Stevie Wonder

Re: Disgusting
You just lack the vision to see what a beauty this is or could be.
Or maybe the drugs you can access are less potent....
