Is there something we can do to save this bike. If Greg is making an offer for 2 he is not parting with junk. Greg knows these bikes he is careful in what he chooses when he finds them. If they were not good they would be parted to save others. Is there a criteria you want I am sure Greg can meet your needs As Motoman says the specials are much more suited to modify. Possibly there is a financial number you would entertain? Please understand to us it is loosing a piece of History like loosing a friend we love these bikes in any form but the purest is a rare find.
We are not a wealthy bunch of guys (at least not me every dime went to 4 daughters college I can barely keep a roof over my head) financial restitution is not easy but if you have a number throw it out there any one of us would make a 700 mile run tomorrow to save this one.

To be fair, the bikes I am offering don't look very good in pics. They are all disassembled in varying degrees. Only one is ridable with an exhaust and battery installed, the tags may even still be good. The others have been disassembled for repair/rebuild and really do look like junk to the untrained eye.

But, then, so was this one........

Just thought I'd mention this for any newer members who may not know ...

Greg transformed the bike in the first photo into the bike in the second photo, otherwise known as:

The Green Hornet


Now, back to our regularly scheduled Venturer program.

Greg, I just took another look at the pictures that you sent me and they all look like a little more work than I am looking to do to get it back to life. Also my parents would probably kill me if I had two project bikes in the garage. However I would consider selling it if you guys would like to keep this bike and preserve it. It runs and rides well. Has the second gear grind which I plan on fixing. I am in the process of going through the brakes. I Rebuilt the carbs. It has new plugs. What would that be worth to some of you guys?

If someone farther south wants it but doesn't want to drive all the way up there we could do a little relay. I could get it down to Indianapolis if need be and may a bit farther south if needed.

I LOVE it!!! You need to hook some speakers up on that thing and blast this out while you're tooling down the road - Classic Round Mound of Sound

Guess I should have been talking to the parents..........

I'm thinking it should be worth around $500 with what needs to be done to it. Is that a number that you can live with? What shape is it in cosmetically? You will save yourself a lot of time and trouble to obtain a Special for your quest. Any year 1979-1981 including the Midnight Special will work.

$500? Nothing needs to be done to it. It's in great cosmetic shape. It fires right up. If I were to see it I would post it for $1500. It's ready to hop on a ride.

If the Cubs with the WS will you donate it to someone here?

(Figured its a safe bet)

It's only running on 2 cylinders I thought.

That bike is sold Doug. Got to make one flawless trip up to Wisconsin on it. That was a FAST SF. I embarrassed a lot of Harleys on their way home from Sturgis on I 35 On the way back. I kept looking down at the speedometer and I was doing 110 without even realizing it.

It will be running on all 4 after tonight.
