I'm going up to Yorktown this weekend to check this bike out. If it's as nice as the add and pictures say it is, and I can talk him down a bit, I might have a new addition to the family.

That is beautious!
Maybe I'll race up there today and buy it first?
Naw, Jane would make me live in the garage, which is not a bad thing actually.....

Whoa, I'm pretty close also .... like Dinqua says "I'll race 'ya". I wonder what the story is with the Indiana plates?

Tom, Where in VA are you? Always looking for someone to ride with. I was wondering about the plates too, but the conatact # is a 757 area code. I left him a message this morning.

John,

Living in Manassas VA. I drive down to Hampton Roads every-other week and work on Langley AFB. Afraid I have to use my truck though, as I bring a week's worth of provisions down with me and I wouldn't want to park the bike in the open in the neighborhood where I rent a room there.

I noticed the ad for this bike reads like it was setup to be an auction at one time. Wonder why it didn't sell? Also, I'd ensure it's titled, it may not be with the differing frame and engine. I don't think a vehicle is registerable with just a bill-of-sale in VA. May be wrong though.

Regards,

Tom

She sure is pretty.


A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort. Herm Albright (1876 - 1944)
