Thanks GP.

I was asking a highish price, but in line with the NADA guide figures.

One guy was ready to come and see it. I waited around for him. Eventually he called to cancel, and said that he had " researched that year and model - oil in frame - that's bad news". He told me that he had a buddy with hundreds of British bikes, so that was probably his research.

Another weirdo sent me an emai full of cuss words, a stupidly low offer, and the closing statement that "if You don't like the offer you can drive it off a cliff and stay on it." Nice!!

Of course, flakes and Craigslist pretty much go together, I guess.

But, back to my question. There are lots of sites on the Internet that tell you what a mistake Triumph made in 1971 and what crap bikes they are, but I found nothing said about the BSAs that are nearly identical. So I wondered why folks are forgiving toward BSA and some are downright hostile towards Triumph.
