[VonWegener]

Basher - I just talked to Steve the bike's owner. He really is a nice older gentleman and I would have no problem buying a bike from him long distance sight unseen. We went over the title and it is titled as stock 1970 Electra Glide which he bought in 2008. He went to the bike and the frame number matches the title. There is no engine number on the title which is good. You would have no problem exporting the bike. Steve is willing to bring the bike to a shipper in Oakland with his truck and trailer. From there I assume it is $500-$600 to send it to the UK. He has also plenty of parts that go with the bike. If you can live with the delkron cases it all sounds OK.
I recommend the following shipper. The owner's name is Kristine and you are welcome to reference me Mike Wegener to her. We are good friends.

I concour with VonWegener .... I took a pic of the title --

and just got back from seeing the bike -- took pics and video
uploading them all to photo bucket

he started it cold for me ,, because it's 10-1 you MUST kick start it... the starter will not spin the engine when it's cold..

after about 6 kicks she fired and rather loud pipes ..

"after a few bar hops.. she starts easy with the electric starter"
I am hoping the pic will link to the slide show .. so let me know it the link works there 25 pics on the album ... the video up load is a challenge at this time ">

Okay tested it works double click on the pic and it take you to my photo bucket

the video was too huge to load on there and also you tube may try my facebook page
stand by ...

I see someone won the bid on ebay ....

... anyone here? just curious who got the bike ..

Sorry i have not replied sooner, work and all that S**t getting in the way.

I decided not too follow through with the purchase of the Shovel, i think once it got too this side of the water, there were going to be issues when it came too getting it registered (NO ENGINE NUMBERS) which meant it quite possibly could have been Q plated (Google Q Plate) which i did'nt want.
Plus i think HOGUK would have too verify it was all Harley for regstration and insurance purposes, and i dont think they would have liked the Delkron cases.

Anyway i would like to thank those people who put themselves out by either making telephone calls or house visits too check the bike out for me and thanks to the people that offered too help with the shipping.

Your a lovely bunch THANKYOU

Ps If there is anything i can do for any of you, give me a shout, but dont take the piss
