I stumbled over the offer of a collector (no, not the well-known collector here from the forum), who had his treasures in the flood area of July flood disaster. He has now in itself in above-average condition motorcycles from one to four cylinder with water damage, which he now wants to sell. The motorcycles were completely flooded, i.e. they stood for some time in quite certainly not clean water. Externally with a high-pressure the bikes look very well cleaned, they were always well maintained or prepared. Now I think back and forth, whether the purchase of such a motorcycle is worthwhile or not. What do you have to reckon with? What I would think of first are • Tank • Electrics • Instruments • Carburettor • Engine • Exhaust I see the problem of increased corrosion in general, but also the risk that for example sand or mud could still cause late consequences or even now not already gl For example, a tacho full of mud that didn’t run out completely could block its mechanics. The motorcycles are recognizable jewels. At least they were. What should be reckoned with in work? I have little space and time, so a complete disassembly would not be possible. But there are really nice mopeds in it. Alone of (m)a former dream moped, the Yamaha SRX 6 the man has three pieces, plus a lot of Hiedene Honde XBR, GB Clubman, Triumph and certainly more. What do you mean? Greeting Michael
