      I know right?

      That is some safe looking rear end.

      The guy is 75 and is playing it safe. At least you know this one is more likely to have been maintained better than one owned by a newbie - you gotta figure he's "experienced".

      But what is up with the change in bikes? Maybe he got a new younger wife (or is trying to attract one) and needed a more "hip" ride.

          I don't know, but it's got to be worth $1500-1750 minimum

          With the condition and setup and likely should bring over $2K. At least I'd pay $2K if I was in the market for a full dresser highway tourer.

            I was thinking the value around there too. I told my wife and SHE put it on HER watch list for ME. I love that woman! I will seriously consider buying it. I hope she lets me keep this one if I get it. Money is a little tight, but she does some creative financing.
