Sadly, making them less affordable classics. Won't be long before they just become something to have and not ride (God forbid)cfaber wrote:Heads up, seems the prices on our rare machines are climbing https://www.mecum.com/lots/CA0818-33077 ... ess-g80cs/ =)

Re: '60 G80CS for $16,500
I have a bike almost exactly like the one in the picture.
Er, well it is a bit like the one in the picture.
OK. So the timing cover is the same. But that's pretty darn close innit?
Reason for using black paint in the recessed flying M symbol. The red paint had turned into a solid lump in the pot, (I should have used a jar, not an old plastic cod liver oil capsule container), but I did have some gloss black Hammerite. Slightly thickened with age, but that just means I won't need to use more than one coat.
PS, Can't wait for some clever person to tell me that black was only use for two weeks in November 1959 on the factory works bikes.
