Corsa. Original. 1984. 42,000km.

I guess these then are Dave Buckley's old bikes. Getting hit by that car driver on his Guzzi on Christmas day was a bloody awful tragedy and I can't imagine the sense of loss and heartache that caused his family.
Obviously the SF has already found a good home and hopefully the others will too. If I recall correctly, Dave bought the RGS of ILOC's Steve 'Hobnot', so that will probably have some good history.
Ang Mo, have you got any more details about the Corsa from before the time it went into storage and also why the various bits have been taken off the bike? That might help with finding a buyer.

Andy, you are correct.
The Corsa was mine and running perfectly when it went into storage.
Asthetically it was also very good.
I went overseas on a 2 year contract and didn't return.
After about 15 years in paid storage it moved to Dave's house and docs I. His name.
He took off disks and clocks. I dont know why.
The plastics came off so they didn't get damaged in the garage. They were stored in a shed on high rack.
We moved everything (all 3 bikes) to Bucks as we found them with all loose bits in crates.
Nothing more I can think off to elaborate. It was running and left with intentions of only being 2 years, but I didn't get back to it.

Pretty sure he was briefly on this forum years ago. I remember thinking how odd it was that there’d be a Laverda over there.

Sad news, good luck with the sales

Steve "Hobnot's" RGS was very well maintained.
