    Crazy guy?

    I found a '78 XS1 for sale and after reading the post I cant help but think this guy fell off his rocker! Three grand for that and a parts bike!? Just read and you shall see what Im talking about. HAHA enjoy.

    I like the blue color, he should'nt have gone so crazy with the white paint. IMO he should'a stopped at the white wheels, something about that blaze orange gasket maker screams redneck!

      I'm wondering if you're not the crazy one...where do you see any orange on this bike?...I'm not that color blind...he doesnt post aprice...did you talk to him?...blue does look good but I dont care for the white paint...If he is asking $3k then that is definitely too much...it would be worth more restored to original cond...

            If you live in Manhattan and your outdoor furniture used to be your indoor furniture.....

            Did look orange to me. But I still did not see a price listed anywhere. That is certainly not the cherry ride it would need to be for someone to pay anything like that kind of money for it, even in New Yawk.

              Maybe Im the redneck and the gasket maker just brings back fond memories lol.

              Seems to me there are a lot of problems with the bike that could “EASILY BE RECTIFIED BY SOMEONE WHO KNOWS WHAT THEYRE DOING” LMAO

              Here is an earlier post with the $2900 price sticker!

                You aren't alone, Ben

                I didn't think it was very orange either... and I'm not color blind... but it sure doesn't look pretty, no matter what color it actually is...

                and $2900? ummmmmmm... yeah...

                      Phew That makes me less of a blind azz than i was thinkin'... I actually blew the pic up and asked my brother ..and he said he could see it. It definitely had me do a double take .......bottom line is that bike has too many issues to be selling for $2900.

                          Yeh, I saw it listed about ten places on Craigslist, what a shame to mess up a good bike like that. I was just up there, too bad I missed it.
