  • XSPastor's 81 Special for sale on ebay

    Yeah - it's true. I need to part with my baby to get another car as I now have a teen driver in the house and a car shortage. This bike is spoiled rotten. You won't find a nicer one. Sigh...

      Oh My!

      Tim ..sorry to see you having to do this ...for an old VW bug??? Hardly seems like a worthy replacement for such a fine example of an XS1100...ah but I know all about parting with beautiful bikes for other priorities...gotten rid of 2 bikes this year so I understand the feeling all too well. Good luck with it...

        Wow, sorry to see you selling the bike. Only hope whoever buys your bike will care for it as you did.
        It is a beauty, that's for sure... There will be some separation anxiety too.

          You're good guys...

          Thanks for the kind words, guys. Maybe I'll be back. I gotta get these kids through college and launched. If it doesn't sell, I'll keep it and buy the bug anyway. Don't tell my wife.

            Great looking bike. Sorry you're selling it. Bummer. I just sold my 65 Cutlass to pay property tax and ins. I know how you feel.

            If you were selling it last summer (when I actually did have some money) I think we could have worked out a deal. I am in MD too. I couldn't find anything in that kind of shape last year that was anywhere near MD.

              That is definitely a SWEET looking 81SH. I thought mine was in good shape till I see ones like yours!

              Hopefully things will work out you can keep the bike. Hopefully, also, even if you sell it you will continue to provide help and incite to this site. You sure have helped me over a few big humps!
              Life is what happens while your planning everything else!

              When your work speaks for itself, don't interrupt.

                Signing off...

                Thanks DGXSER! That's nice of you to say. The bike just sold. Somebody went and click "buy it now" and now the bike in my garage isn't even mine anymore. I'll definitely check the site from time to time. This is the best bunch of guys ever!

                Now - on to looking for the perfect classic VW Beetle...

                    Nows a good time to find one of those $200-$300 fixeruppers and slowly bring it back to life.
                    It would take a lot to bring an old beater to where your special is though.
