        Did I say my girlfriend told me to try and get it??? SWMBO knows me well, and that's a great thing.
        Good move Ray. I love my midnights... They always draw comments when out and about.

          Hey Ray we want pics

          Hi Ray,,,hope the midnight special is good for you. Hoping you could post a few pics of the bike so we can all drool and kick ourselves for not buying it. Missed the rally but will be there for the next one when the weather cools down. Regards, Mike in S. Diego

              OK, the pics will have to wait. Just spent money on two NEW tires, and need to get ready to leave town for a while. I did find the 140/90/16 E3 Dunlop (MU90-16)WILL fit, just need to let the air out to get it past the final drive.
              Pics in about 12 days, give or take.

                  Very nice looking midnight! The F looks a little jealous of its new sibling.

                  Almost looks like 79 carbs on the midnight though

                    Brain fade on the carb thing Didn't realize that the 80's still had drain plugs in the bowls.

                      is that the original exhaust?
                      hows it run?
                      looks like a great buy for the money.
