You know thats going to jump up the last day of bidding. I was going to bid on one I found in an estate sale with only 7k miles. But went past my limit....like I had a chance. Haha

What's going on with the front fork/caliper mounting? Marzocchi 38mm?

Oh, man......
I don't think my piggy bank is that big. (Especially when one figure in the inevitable
speeding tickets...)
Over the years I've seen more than one for sale with text in the ad reading something like:
"License in peril - must sell."
Only 13K? Just a tune-up, fluid changes, check the tires and brake hoses, and then go out
wring it's gorgeous Italian neck......

Side panel is on the wrong way and the other one has a broken tab. Can't imagine this bike is going to break any price records as it needs some work but who knows with BAT. And it doesn't exactly sound great based on the posted video's.

It has a snapped off bleed screw in the LF caliper. It should let us know what an unrestored Lemans is worth, at least on BaT. Thanks for posting JJ.
