malcra Posted January 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 Some progress on the project already, (see latest article) but still a long way to go. thanks for the tips so far. Gavin himself is now subscribed to TC, but has to ensure that the missus isn't aware of the latest project activity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much do you subtract from the real price when your wife asks how much it cost ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swooshdave Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 How much do you subtract from the real price when your wife asks how much it cost ? If your wife knows the actual number of bikes you have, you've already failed. If he inquires about cost, always give the pre-restoration cost, at the very most.

Please update that with the corrected serial numbers it's no longer suspected to be an Alpina. The Alpina comments was made when the serial numbers didn't correlate with what the frame appeared to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

malcra Posted January 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 article updated, thanks for all the help and comments so far. There will be more of course....though when is unclear. If Gavin comes back unscathed from skiing then there will be progress.. Wayne, i'm sure its the same conrod and thats what Gavin said...bargin. my missus is counting frames as well as complete bikes, so i've gone wrong somewhere.....

woody Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 Come on Malc, you two have got to get to learn about your Bultos now you know. Model 91 is 72/73 250 Sherpa, the model after the 80, so your engine/frame are only one model apart which is nothing to bother about. I'll be impressed if it is done for the opening Miller round, that's a tight schedule. I'm trying to get my model 92 done which is the 325 version of Gav's bike. Be nice if the pair of them are there. You know where you went wrong with the 'er indoors' knowing how many bikes you have by the way - not trading her in for the first one....

andy m Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 I had my other half with me a while ago at a lock up I use and as I opened the door remembered she hadn't seen the Tlr 200 that was in there, too late now I thought. "How long have you had that one" she asked. A while now I said. Nice colour she says, can I have a go on it she says, phew I got away with that .................... Just.
