There's a rather ugly one on TradeMe at the moment but the price seems a bit high for what it looks like. Are you going to do a full resto or get a nice regular rider out of her?

Yes I've seen the ugly one on trade me! There was an even uglier one last week that didn't sell. Just after a good regular rider. Cheers.

Next week, I will be loading to airplanes in a container bound for New Zealand. I have my 1975 T500M for sale and could probably make arrangements to get it on the same container for a reasonable price. My T500 is in excellent running condition and I'll sell it for $2500 USD + shipping.

Yes I am half tempted to paint it glorious psychedelic candy lavender once more. At least the local mongrel mob wouldn't nick it!
