    when it rains it pours

    Just posted about. Wks ago about my new to me 79 sf. Well I was poking around on ebay and saw a 1980 midnight special 7400 miles great tires always stored inside. Also has a 4 into 1 kerker exhaust on it which is pretty cool. Needs the standard brake and carb cleaning but all in all a beautiful bike, all the black chrome still looks new. Best part only coost a grand.

    So now I have 2 11s in the garage, should go well with the twins my wife popped out on Friday.

    lol

      Congrats! On BOTH accounts!

      That bike has been on the St. Louis Craigslist (Hillsboro, MO) for quite some time. The guy's ad said he was firm on a price over $2k. Looks like you got a decent deal there!

      Too bad the MNS is missing the stock exhaust...

                Congratulations!
                On BOTH sets of twins!
                lol


                We have some of those as well... If you have a singleton after these two, they are REALLY easy.
                What? I only have to change ONE diaper at a time now?

                Enjoy whatever sleep you are able to get.

                The Midnight looks to be in really nice condition! NICE find!
