I had the 850 for a while and had some good times but it started having a few issues and it was time for us to go our separate ways. Just stuff minor stuff really so I put it up on craigslist and a man came by with a pocket full of money and he wanted the bike more then I so the deal was done. I think it went to a good home. He is going to ride it to California.
As you all know Ive been messing around with my 81 1100 for some time now trying to get it right and on the road again. Just when I think I have it all together again I take it for a little ride and it shows me how good of a bike it could be for about ten miles when the trans bolt backed out and it sounded like the trans was going to eat its self.
At the time it sounded bad but knowing now what it was I think Im still close to getting that bike on the road again, but when I got home I was bored and had had some money from the guy that bought that 850 so I decided to look on craigslist to see if there were any xs1100's listed. I then came across a red special that had some mods for a little out of my price range. Well everything in my price range was junk, but I thought what the heck I will go look at it anyways. I called the next day and went out to look at it after work. I had the money on me but never really thought that I would get the bike. I didnt bring a ramp or tiedowns. We met and he seemed like good people and we chatted about his bike a little and he mentioned the site and TC. I thought that he was a member when I saw the spin on oil filter mod. We talked a little more and he lowered his price a little but I needed a bit less so I made an offer at what I sold the 850 for and he took it.
Im now the happy owner of GREENGOON3's bike. He was even nice enough to ride it to the house for me.
