HaHaHa, I thought for sure they were going to get it to fire up.   They were close, I think. They sure threw in the towel, quick... But it was "a business decision"   :wink:

They started it w/stating fld, enough to suck all the mouse crap into TB's, instead of cleaning airbox 1st. Goons w/tools & a puter.

I’m not a mechanic, but I was surprised that they would attempt to start it without first removing the TB’s, air box and clean everything. Plus, trying to bump start it could have done more damage, broken rings etc.

The Lil Old Lady only wants $50 for it. If anyone is close, I'd go get it.

They said $500.  Still a bargain.

They were saying they thought there were mice in the airbox in the beginning, and then tried to to start it.
If it was  ready to go and looking good, it would sell for $2500 to $4000. No matter if a hundred hours of work got it running like new without any new parts, it would still be a beater and be a hard sell.

If I were 20 year younger without 7 motorcycles, I might think it an interesting project.

Yes, said it wasn't worth it, needed throttle bodies after they stuffed them full of mouse shaffing.

I contacted the guy trying to get a phone number for the people with the barn/bike. He told me he was going to "facilitate" the sale of the bike and was going to advertise it for $900.

I would have done exactly that, but it's an 8 hour drive from me. No telling what could happen during that time given what we've seen on that video.

Ransomville is about 6h 30m from me. That's about 6h 15m too far for this bike after these clowns sucked all that crap into the TBs and engine.

I rescued the bike! It is in better cosmetic shape than the video showed. It has huge potential the front rim and spoke Nipples are corroded
