The way it was going, I was expecting a dumbass post on the end saying he'd taken $5k for it

It's a bit of a do-er up-er now isn't it!

Only in the good old US of A!

On the repairs side; I wouldn't touch that bike with a bargepole, it's dropped oil, meaning cases are cracked and the chances of even ore damage that won't be apparent until it's just about almost finished are high (every rebuild gets to a stage where everything looks like it's going brilliant... and then you discover the really expensive bit that just has to be done to finish it), the frame is cracked and the rest of it has been trashed. I'd break it for whatever spares I could salvage from it and lob the rest in a skip.
