Posted: 22:21 - 08 May 2022 Post subject: How to shift a pile of rusty old junk? |
|
|
Got this shed, right.
Needs cleaning out.
Part of getting my shit together.
Got a bit of old bike stuff in there.
Its an XJ900 diversion lump (possibly half a frame x 2, don't ask)
Been out in the weather since 2007.
... and most of a super tenere 750, all in bits, been in a shed, but door was left open for several winters.
All rusted/corroded as fuck.
Holes were not stuffed with rags or any kind of preventative maintenance. Christ only knows where the V5s are
Its 12-15 years later.
I'm not gonna do it.
Wasting my money on bad men and motorcycles, meh.
They were fun at the time.
I have to move on.
I know what it COULD have been.
Don't need the lectures, thanks, and not sniffing for offers - I just want to know how I go about getting rid? ebay, marketplace, whats the best place for shite like that, these days?

Call it a barn find, say it just needs an MOT but will easily pass, and retire to the Bahamas. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

Divvy engine will probably sell for spares. Shaft drive so some trike builder can use it for a mock-up. ____________________ a.k.a 'Geri'

I would hire a skip and throw it all in followed by the shed.
Or get someone to do it.
Life is too short for 99p ebay sales |

^^ this
I would just skip it myself |
Noooh! A skip will be a couple of hundred. My vote is ebay as 'Barn Find', 'Project' 'Spares/Repairs' on Ebay.
Divide the stuff between Divvy and Tenere and sell in two lots £99 start money to ensure you get 'something' worthwhile.
If you have the reg plates then new owner can sort their own V5s.. Not sure assembling is worth it either. I once picked up an XJ550 in boxes in my hatchback car which wouldn't have fitted if rolling chassis!

Where abouts would this shed of rusty junk be? I might be interested in swapping the tenere for a couple of bottles of your choice of spirit if its not too far away. I could do with a pile of rust to keep me out of the pub on weekends Could probably shift the XJ9 bits for you too and send the coin back your way if you want it all gone in one hit. ____________________ own: 81 xs1100g...

stinkwheel Well I just had my hands up a pigs fanny. Which makes your concerns pale into insignificance.

If you really can't be arsed, then just dump it on your driveway.
Around here old fridges/washing machines/metal etc vanishes in hours that way. ____________________ Suzuki Bandit 1250

I helped my mate extract an old rusty Suzuki trail bike frame, petrol tank, wheels and mudguards from a collapsed shed at his late Dad's house. He rang up a bloke who buys old bike bits who was straight down to buy it for a few hundred quid and take it away.
The next time I saw it a few weeks later it was up for sale at the Copdock bike show. I have his number on my phone if you want it, he left a message asking me about one of my old bikes a little while ago after I spoke to him at an autojumble.
