      They range from a couple hundred dollars in rusted non-running condition to about $5000 in "mint" condition. Need more details than that. Have some pics with a listing?

      Hawaii...nice!

        Just arrived Kauai Friday, when I return I'll take some pics. On a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being the "mint" $5000, I would say this is a solid 6.75.

          Kaua'i !

          Oh, man!! One of my all-time favorite places ... been there several times, and planning another trip there next year!

          Eddie, enjoy your time on the Garden Isle ... look forward to the pics of your new acquisition!

            Yes P-6, Kauai is indeed a beautiful little island. My home is in Kapa'a. I say little because compared to the Big Island of Hawaii, it's so tiny, lol My other home is in Pahoa.

            I gotta say, the islands are not the best places to own or ride a mc. Going back July 29 and can hardly wait to get on the XS.

              I LIKE riding the big island.... I usually rent a Roadglide for a day, and just enjoy the back roads. SWMBO and I try to get over to one of the islands at least every other year.
              PM when you get back! we can set up a meet and ride.

                Yes ...

                Twice now I've rented a Fat Boy while in Kaua'i and spent a relaxing day cruising around the island.

                Lots of fun!
