Purchased!

Found a BMW R60/5 in Lancing TN.  Supposedly it ran last week; deeply discounted after it failed to start.

Stated by Previous Owner:

• Second owner
• 39k original miles
• Runs decently
• Shifts decently
• Tank recently cleaned

Known First Hand (Trust but Verify, right?):

• Rust on frame
• If steering damper is not fully loose, it dumps rust-colored dust every time bars are turned.
• Carbs drip onto floor when petcocks opened (needle valve issue?)
• Rattle-can paint job over a decent silver coat
• Push rod seal leak - both sides
• Rotted tires
• Exhaust rusted through in at least one spot.
• No spark at the plugs.  

Bought it anyway.
