Two Wheel Recyclers in Hackham SA (30 mins south of Adelaide CBD) have a 78 xs400 for sale. they say it runs quite well and just needs a tidy up to register. It was tucked in behind a pile of bikes so I couldn't get a close look.
they had it on Ebay and it didn't meet reserve ($700).
Thought someone here might be interested. Their phone number is on our 'services' webpage.

no it'd have to be flying, it's legs are TINY so it'd take ages to walk.
Then you have to take into account the load carrying ability of the Australasian Pidgeon, far less than that of it's conterpart the Russian Pidgeon. The Russian breed has been bred for rugged terrain and genetically modified for load carrying and the delivery of ricin via well targeted excretion.
Yup, a russian pidgeon would be the bird of choice my friend
.
Oh and before you think about it....don't bother considering the Pommy Pidgeon either. Most are holed up in grotty back yard pidgeon fancying sheds in Blighty; some people say they were forced into it. They say the birds are lured to Blighty with the offer of a new life by a gang of sparrows who go by the name "The Worm Heads" only to arrive and find themselves forced onto the "fanciers" black market where they are traded like animals.
You could believe this propaganda, you could believe they DON'T want to be there but; ask yourself THIS! "Why fly back?"
........they're nothing but whores of the sky I tell ya
So in short go with the russian bird, but hide the vodka!

If it did it was probably a standard Armenian issue pidgeon. The Armenian defence force had less funding than the Russians and as such their genetic research was flawed. The Armenian Pidgeons were from day one, little more than a flawed copy of the Russian winged unit. The AIP had an inherant "drop upon flap" response. There grip was like a vice on the ground but as soon as wing movement was encouraged the toes would open.
They can be modified by removing the centre tendon from each leg. It's a common modification for those countries looking for the versatility of a Russian Pidgeon but at a substantial cost reduction and greater economy of vodka
They still pop up on ebay now and again.

A custom bike or a chopper should be something that has had the original essence of its existence altered to project the skills, objectives and artistic vision of its creator so the viewer or “beholder” and the creator can be positively stimulated by the actual bold or sublime beauty of the bike. Both need to project an essence of suitability, practicality, function and righteousness that has no stand for mediocrity or aesthetic blasphemy.
