"Barn" Finds
I recently placed a Craigslist Ad looking for a BMW parts bike. Kind of a fishing expedition as I really didn't have anything in mind. Low and behold a gal called me and said she had bought her boyfriend a BMW project bike and he peeled on her. She said she had $100.00 into it and was hoping to recoup her cost, but would take anything I was willing to give her. She knew nothing about the bike. I figured for $100.00 there had to be that much worth of parts no matter what it was. I bought it sight unseen. She finally sent me a photo a few days before I went to retreive the bike. ( I live 300 miles away) This is what I got for $100.00.
Nice! I'll give you $150 for it.
Holy Hosacks! that tank is worth a PILE!! My friend Gus sold one for a thousand bucks a couple years back. Sure it was pristine,but yours still ought to be worth quite a bit. Great find!
Boy! She sure saw you coming. LOL

The tank is actually in great shape except for the paint, no dents. There is one nasty scar where it appears a handsaw was drug across the tank, but it is easily repairable. The tank interior was good enough to use as it was found. I wanted a Heinrich for my side hack rig but would never pay the prices being asked. A guy gotta get lucky sometimes! Anybody got a tool box cover? I'll give ya $5.00 for it. LOL
