new guy..too many bikes..Scrambler 250 nc.
I've been lurking here for a while. Finally thought I would put up a post.
I've got several bikes but the one I'm restoring right now is a 1965 250 Scrambler. Seems like there are quite a few guys with Scramblers on the board. It was a fairly original bike when I purchased it.....with the exception of incorrect carb & headlight. I have the bike 95% torn down at the moment. Parts are heading off to the Chromer next week!
I'll post pictures if anyone is interested.
Cheers
Kyle

Sure, post up a "before" pic or two- I'm sure I'm not the only one who'd like to see a rescued Scrambler. They're great little Ducatis that I bet are appreciated here.
BTW, I hope you have a good chrome plater that you trust and have clear communication with. I've been really disappointed with some parts I've had chromed- even when I specifically ask they they do not polish out numbers/letters on original rims, casting marks on shifter pedals, ect., they do anyway. Turns out the guys doing the actual work don't speak or read English- makes it kind of hard to get work done as requested. I've had vintage parts returned that look like they belong on a show chopper, they just look so wrong and incorrect that they actually lessen the value of my machine.
Good luck!

Scott, I think 10k is about right, if the bike is restored properly.
He might sit on it for a while, but eventually the right buyer will come around.
Cheers

I have a riot with that guy ...
He said he sen one go for that amount I said that was Austrailian $$$ worth about 1/3 our $$$
I don't think the #s match the year etc etc...
I don't know and just like rattling his chain ... he keeps coming back for more ...
Harmless fun on both parts ...
Good for him ...and his find...

You should check the conversion rate $1 = 0.991313 AUD! which is why lots of bevel Ducati's are heading down under currently.

Yeah I was just BSing this guy he has a personality that just thrives on an argument and I love to build him up and then Wham !! pull the rug from under him...
I checked the #s with someone here more knowledgable than Me, and they did not match the Year #s and Motor# ...
Still a nice unit to own ,Buddy was sort of claiming that is was 100% correct...
