I did ride up to his house a while back and showed him the bike, he appreciated it.

Returning Visitors
If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.
If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

It's pending for BaT yeah, waiting on the writeup to get finished. Hopefully this week, it is taking a while but they are quite busy so I understand. I'll take what the market gives me, I have no fixed idea what it's going to reach. The more the better but I'm not going to refrain from guessing or predicting.
You have an option to set a reserve and I have done that. It's going to meet reserve I'm sure.
Gonna finish the Norton and poke around on that a bit while I survey the landscape. I probably should never have sold my '13 Multistrada, especially right after laying out $800 for a valve adjustment which was actually a bargain. That bike was just about perfect for me.
The auction is now live on Bringatrailer
I noted to the auction writer that the boost gauge is inop, but missed that in the review. It moves fine when I hit it with compressed air, maybe it's the amount and it's sticking. I've asked to revise.

Agreed. Nice pics and documentation as well. Good luck Tom.
Thanks, it seems to be getting some action, couple bids already. Later tonight and the weekend should bring out those not surfing on work time.
I made a note of the previous seller's H2 on BaT - this is the bike. The only one that ever scared him, he asked the builder of one featured in an article in one of the 70s mags callled "Kings of the Street" to make him the absolute fastest H2. He put 400 on the side covers as a sleeper type mod. Hit the 1K powerband about 90 and almost lost it.
Nice one..............

Wow, congrats! I hope they take care of it.
I sure did when I got it for $1K
. So many of the comments were about evil handling, widow maker, death trap etc. Of course nobody had ever ridden it - it rides fantastic. I had to bite my tongue.
This is what I fear every time I see a new post here. Goodbye, Mr. Turbo. Sir.
And thank YOU for rebuilding, and sharing it with us. I'll soy-ten-ly remember this a long time.
Edit - they put a 5% hold so 675$ before the person can bid, so hopefully legit. Could be some kid using parent's card though :moody:
I'm suspecting a scam bidder, no answer to Email, phone straight to generic recording, joined this month and made one snide comment on another auction a few minutes before the end.
