This is the best l can do for ya mate...

cough, cough, splutter, cough, zing, splutter, pop, cough, cough, zing, pop, zing, zing, pop, cough, cough, splutter, bang, pop..

Then turn the choke off & you get...

zing, zing, zing, zing, zing, zing,...

"Brand new, never started".

Of course, it's yours, so you can do whatever you want with it, but one day we'll all be dust and at the moment you are getting as much riding enjoyment out of that bike as I am!

It's like sharing a photo of your hot wife and saying "never been rooted"!

Its nothing more than an expensive coffee table l guess,

It is a pretty decoration to have around, that's for sure! I would have trouble resisting it's charms, so you've obviously got some pretty good willpower there. Cheers.

lm not sure if its good willpower or shear laziness to be honest...

gday baffled, i can understand you wanting to look at it, i wish i could, i like just looking at my LC and its not even finished, if i feel like going for a ride i jump on the xj, imagine what it will be worth in another 20-30 years.

that RG didn't happen to hail from Melbourne did it ?
I knew of one that was in a lounge room in the same condition... not sure what happened to it though ....

It did & still does live in Melbourne..

just keep it Steve, its a beauty. I totally get the idea of bikes as sculpture, I was keen to have a 916 and a 748R either side of my TV back in the day... I thought id need the pair for the artistic balance. and... Id not have ridden them, they would have been new and unused. I rode lots of them over the years and to me they were uncomfy horrid things that hurt my body and imho rode badly on normal roads, but they were achingly (sic) beautiful. LOL

Hey Baffled ... I wonder if I'm talking to the same bloke who owned it back then ... here's a clue ... model minis ....
