    Said goodbye to the 80sg today..

    Been kind of fiddling around with the idea to sell it. Posted it on Craigslist for trade just to see what I got and I put a for sale sign on the windshield for when I ride around town. While at work a guy calls me and offers me what I had priced on it(2000, about a 600 profit from what I had in it after all the parts) and in 45 min later she was gone. Thankfully I got to ride her home to get the title and back and say my farewells, but I sure do miss her already. I'm really looking forward to getting the 79 up and going with the saddlebags and fairing and such

    Took this a few days ago

    I'll miss her
