Price Jump!

I guess he got bombarded with emails one or 2 were mine. I would have been all over this at $495
The price has gone up

[phatts27]

I really hope I wasn't responsible for the price gouge. Give it a week, he may yet take the $500.

non running XSs go for $500 no more... especially this one

[TexinMaine]

I see he changed it from 78 to 79.

[phatts27]

And changed from sat 15 years to sat 10 years

[MPittma100]

?

No more than $500 for this one. Will have everything wrong with it after sitting that long.

We may have a new member

Well got an email from the owner. I think this is a save. He loves this bike but has no mechanical skills. He would like nothing more than to get it on the road.
I offered to stop by and give him a quick evaluation on the condition.

Sounds alot like myself!
Gordon, hopefully we get a riding buddy out of this one! How far is he from you?

Ed
He is 40 miles up the parkway I am making arrangements to meet up ASAP and get him on the road

A save

Looks like a save we are meeting next week Owner is 70 and really does not want to get rid of it. Just does not know how to fix it or where to begin. Just like most of us before we found this site and all the great knowledge everyone offers . I will get him going. Looking forward to a new fellow rider. Thanks to Aches N Pains I have enough spare parts I am sure I have everything he might need to get rolling if something is needed We will post to the Xs11Forum once we get this started. Its my turn to give back on what I have learned the past few years.

Hi Eastcoaster,
You have become New Jersey's XSive Rescue Dude
Glad to hear your Florida trip went so well on the Venturer. If it ever warms up here I will roll mine out and start on the spring projects.

I have a buddy here in Michigan with a '78 XS1100, and '77 XS750 that wants to get rid of his bikes, but I know deep-down he wants to see them run.
