[QUOTE="minivin, post: 46175, member: 643"] Unfortunately Eddie, the bikes hold a value at this moment in time and I don't begrudge any owner from wanting to get as much as possible for their bikes. Yes, I'd like a complete Black Shadow, but over the years the club have helped me collect the parts to build two Comets and now I am removing one engine from the Egli frame and collecting parts, to build a twin engine into the Egli frame. That is the only way I will ever be able to afford a twin....... It's a difficult problem, many other clubs will be suffering the same situation, Velocette, Jaguar E Type, etc etc, In some ways I'd like to see basket case Comets be made available to young aspiring members for a couple of grand. But parts are rare and what with the Girdraulic forks selling for a couple of grand by themselves, we would need some very generous members in the club to be able to generate such a scheme. [/QUOTE]
