Post by: Jon The Bassist on January 23, 2011, 03:46 PM: Would you realistically ride it often ???, eg if you're 6'6" then a Supergoose might not be that much fun as a regular rider.

Post by: webbie on January 23, 2011, 07:53 PM: To be honest its just to roll around on the firebird is the bike i would like to build the most but i only have f&f and time and cash seem to be the problem there . The goose is all there and maybe a little tidy she will be ready to go the bird might have to wait.

Post by: webbie on January 27, 2011, 07:23 PM: Right change of plan ive seen a new school frame that i want so need some funds whats the goose worth.

Post by: BENDYCAT ELEVENTEEN on January 27, 2011, 07:34 PM: depend on what state it is in when sold !

it may clean up like my 82' and look better when trying to sell - hence you will get more money
if you leave it alone then some one else had to do all the work and you can see what it is like under all that grime so could be a shocker under it
