    Look what I found.

    I was searching Craigs list the other day when I found this 1 owner 13,000 mile 850. 10 miles from my house. The seller ended up working in the same building as I do. I even spent some time talking with him a week before that..Seeing how it was just like the first bike I ever had and in better shape, I snatched it up.
    An original factory bench seat , sissy bar pad and matching Agv helmet came with it. It's an easy starting, tight running, dent free, clean machine. All factory with good tires!
    He also had a 442 Olds that hadn't left the shop in 20 or 30 years.
    I love people that hold on to things forever and then sell them to me. It's like they were just holding it for me, all along.

              When you picking up the 442??? And oh, please tell me this one is not going under the knife!!
              Life is what happens while your planning everything else!

              When your work speaks for itself, don't interrupt.

                  under the knife

                  I'm going to make a go cart.
                  No I'm not going to do a thing to it. And if it makes you feel better, I never cut the midnight bobber either.
                  The 442 would cost more than I could swing, but he said he would sell it.
