I remember when I went to collect the Motocompo: I did not check anything \u2014 not whether any parts were missing, what physical condition it was in, or whether it would start. I simply signed the delivery note and took it home. Once in my garage, I took a proper look at the Motocompo and analysed it carefully. What a rusty lump of metal! I had bought a bike in very poor condition without seeing it in person.<\/p>\n\n\n

At first glance I could not see anything good. It had been brush-painted with household paint, all the metal parts were rusty, and it had no key to start it. The previous owner had used a lamp switch to turn the bike on. Here is a photo of that detail\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And this was the condition of the blue paint, where the brush marks were clearly visible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And that is it for the first impressions once the Motocompo arrived at my house. In the next post I will explain what it looked like inside, after removing the blue panels and inspecting the frame, engine and components.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
