Welbike

I went to the San Jose Clubmans motorcycle swapmeet, hoping for a lead to a BSA WM20 or similar British military dispatch bike, but found this instead.


Seller was asking $3500 I looked it over a while and talked to the owner thinking if it didn't sell I could make an offer a month or so later, but he lived 7 hours away, before I left I checked in again to get his information and he offered it to me for $2800 I didn't have the cash so I got his info and headed home, but couldn't stop thinking about it, the bank
was still open so I grabbed some cash and went back and made a deal at $2600 and loaded it into my truck.
