Difficult Decision

[Aches n Pains]

Guys,

At 71 years old, with bad knees, one bad shoulder, and scores of other arthritic parts it’s about time for me to get off of motorcycles.

Here’s what I have (all three have clean titles in my name)

1979 Special that runs and looks great. Video at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_SDtJfTxt0Q. Pictures at: https://picasaweb.google.com/1084313...979XS11Special

1978 Standard. Bought this bike a bit over a year ago and just haven’t gotten around to working on it. Ran at idle when I picked it up. Pictures at https://picasaweb.google.com/1084313...978And1980XS11 (blue bike)

1980 Standard. Don’t know much about this bike. It does turn over and seems to be complete. Hadn’t quite figured out when I would get to it but think it can be saved for sure. Pictures at: https://picasaweb.google.com/1084313...978And1980XS11 (Maroon – 1 picture)

Boxes of parts, pipes, etc.

I live in Reston, Va. (near DC) and would like to sell the whole load in one lot to someone I know will put them to good use. Let me know if you have any interest.

Thanks,

Doug

Doug I am sorry to hear it but I understand at some point it may not be enjoyable or safe. I hope to not have to make that decision.

Best of luck. I know someone will benefit.

Decision

Hi Doug,

We all have that day coming. Having made it to your age and still riding is quite an accomplishment. I know folks who have quit sooner than 71 as well as some who are still riding at 71 plus. Each to his own. A tough decision for sure.

Post what you are asking for them or a link to an ad and I'm sure there will be people interested.

Good Luck!

Mike
