Does anyone think the eBay bike might be an OK deal? I'd have to pay about $700 to have it shipped door-to-door. I don't know anyone in Chicago who can go see it prior to purchase. There's a better description of the bike in his answer to one of my questions:
"The chrome is all good...with just a few really minor bits of rust throughout the entire bike. IT is by no means a wannna-be show-made piece of trailer-queen trash like these new clown-cycles they make now-a-days. It is a "built-by-a-biker" & "ridden-by-a-biker" bike from the days of biker glory. That having been said, the Springer springs are perfect with the center rod being rusted. The girders are in perfect condition with the front of the lower triple tree having four tapped screw holes that have gotten rusty. The rest of the bike has excellent paint...not perfect...but definitely in excellent shape. I haven't spoken to anyone in trying to get it running. If I trailered it somewhere, I would be putting in time and money, and I have none of neither that I can devote to the bike. I can't imagine it would cost more than about $800 or somewhere around there to ship it. look up harley transport companies on the net, and someone should be able to quote you a price."
I don't know why, but this one is knawin' at me. I don't even like hardtails. WTF.
