I must say, it looks amazing; like a vehicle from a sci-fi movie.

I'm worried that my not liking this at all (in the link and photo below) somehow suggests my love of all things A7/A10 could be faltering?

The link is from Facebook, so, sorry if it asks for a log in.

I have selective blindness and I can see a very nice engine, gearbox, oil tank and rear wheel. Can't see anything else for some reason.....

Nor would I, with my disc cutter plugged in and ready to roll.
I'd soon show the original "builder" what chopping a bike really means. ;)

The awkward reality is that it is only $1000 and 10 hours from me by Interstate Highway. There is easily more than $1000 worth of parts there but I promised myself, "only one basket-case at a time" or, for that matter, maybe no more basket cases.

From the comments he turned down $1500.00. I wonder what he really wants? That is how my Road Rocket looked when I bought it!
