    Love the Shirk Bro's.

    I think the bike is a Swamper, not a Bobber...........well----it might have been bobbing at some point

    Looks like it WAS an XS650

    Maybe 3 or 4 items that you could salvage from that hot mess.
    Turn signal lens
    2 plastic reflectors on front of frame
    Footpeg rubbers
    Oh yes about 3$ worth of copper wire
    And maybe $40 worth of aluminium

    See there. I knew that while it is well past being a viable mechanical device you guys could still have fun with it for a few minutes. It is sad that someone would have so little respect for the machine as to abandon it like this.
