Trade your special for a standard?

Anybody with a Special wants to trade for a Standard?
Anybody with a Standard wants to trade for a Special ?

This is without extolling the virtues of either - rather about change of taste. I've had both and am happy with either but.......

I realy want a special myself but could never part with my 81H tourer. Call me selfish, but i want both.

I have 4 special parts bikes I would trade for one good Standard parts bike.

Sounds good.

I have a 78E that just needs bags to make me happy on the road,
then I could get a special or XJ, strip it down, and race around town.

special special

need to get you one for sure.
my 81 is striped to the bare bone's ( bobber style ) I run a flat rear fender made from a boat tralier fender toped of with a sparto tail light ,a modified harley sportster solo seat & p-pad my brother gave me. BMW flat handle bar's . four K&N air cleaner's , jardine 4 into 2 pipe's . and decromed tank and side covers all painted flat black. homemade hyway bar's and passenger peg mounts . I love the old girl and enjoy riding her alot .
I hope you find the same joy someday...

oh yeah

That sounds like an awesome ride.

Perfect for gettin across town, fast!

One bike for the weekend trips,
and one for the weekdays.
Could sleep in longer in the mornings.

HA

Mental note=I need a special

I agree with Wayne, I couldn't part with my '80-G tourer either. BOTOH, I'd love a "sporty" bike to zip around on.
