Wildkat found a 79F for sale in Arlington, about 15 miles from us, and we are going to take a look at it this morning. 9500 miles, but not running, supposed to be in good cosmetic condition. $550. We'll see...

Good luck, John.
Don't forget to send back the pilot box for my E once you get the F.

New addition?
Because you have SO MUCH ROOM for another one! lol. I guess there's always the shed out back? lol. Or... we could just push the FJ outside since it's the blacksheep anyway... that would make more room!
(I feel a Kat kick coming on... )
I hope it's a good one.... it better be for $550 non-running. If parting... dibs on the motor! lol.

Ummmmmm... I don't think so...
Well... it WOULD make for more room... but... I still don't think so... especially considering the condition this XS was in... The FJ would get its feelings hurt if we put it out to make room for this rat trap.Originally posted by trbig

Okay, so it wasn't that bad... but I talked to the guy on the phone and he tells me the bike is in great cosmetic shape... What he didn't tell me was that it was in great cosmetic shape in about 1000 pieces all over his house... and there is no title (no major thing... but not really a selling point for this bike)
and he didn't tell me the mufflers were all ate up... and when I say ate up... I mean they were ATE up... There were dents in the gas tank... a few things here... a few things there... Rather disappointing...
The bike MIGHT be worth the money he was asking... but only if a person has nothing else to ride... and doesn't have a bunch of bikes in the garage and storage shed... which we kind of do...
Ummmmmm Bob?
