        OK, Called the "ex" employer, and my "final" pay will be in my account Friday. I then called the owner of the bike, and will be going to get it Friday morning. I am NO LONGER a standard only guy, I'm now "SPECIAL" as well...
        Did I say my girlfriend told me to try and get it??? SWMBO knows me well, and that's a great thing.

            Hey Ray, I am glad somebody local got it. It sure looks good in the pics. If mine was half as nice I would be a proud poppa. Best of luck with it and the job market. See you and the Midnite beauty at a rally........Regards, Mike in Sun Diego

                        From what I can see in that photo, there would be no way I could pass up that bike if it were over here in New England.

                        Not that I need another 1100 Special but some things you just can't let go.

                          Well, it's had all the rust from sitting painter over, but is in GOOD condition over all. It got just about 36 MPG at 70+ MPH on the trip home, so I'm pretty happy. I can tell I need to clean ALL the electrical, and look at the tires for the date stamps, as it does handle a little "off" now and then. I'll post pictures after the rally here.

                            Hey Ray...Looks like a keeper...you got it home and its in decent condition...not surprised it will need some TLC... then it will truly shine.This should help distract you from being out of work...for a while.have fun with it.
