I bought that '81 M.S and it is as clean as any bike I have ever seen. 24,000 miles on it and looks like it's never been in the rain. As soon as I figure out how to post a picture on my server again, I'll put a couple up. It is sweeeeeeeeeet."If A equals success, then the formula is: A = X + Y + Z. X is work. Y is play.

Thanks, here is another shot. BTW, I found it in the classified section of this site. I knew there was a reason to lurk on here.
This baby is so clean I still can not believe it. I ran it about 100 miles yesterday and no issues popped up. Shifts smooth, stays in gear runs very well. I have an '80 M.S. that I will have to sell in the spring. It was the only way I could get the wife to let me buy it and still live at home.

Jazzrat, you got a special. That is a midnight special. By the way, I saw your bike today. I went by Boca cycle for lunch to check it out. It was such a nice day to go for a ride and I needed to get out of my office for a while.Owned by a pair of XS11's. An 80 Standard and a 79 Special.Comment
