    finally... REALLY...

    the Holly Bike is in the garage and nestled next to the air compressor... being the 3H3-0006xx to be produced in 1979, she has boldly put on her dark power and shook my attention... wonderful....







    its hard to believe there is no key and yet the battery still holds 3.79vdc...

    man... do I want to dig into this bike... wonderful, after ziggin and zaggin...

    oh... I dont want to forget about "commander PissOwnIt" who is not allowed in the garage unless I am there with bull zap in hand... lol...



    have a wonderful and loving Holiday Season XS11.com

                  The rest of the story

                  Cosmetics on the bike are really nice....nice seat, only slight rust on the exhaust headers....that bike will be beautiful after some loving.

                  I see it is missing the air box. They are easy to come by if you decide to stick with the stock hardware.

                  What's the story about 7 months? Took that long to get a trailer available?

                  Bike is from Holly, MI?

                          she came from eastern ohio, an estate sale, picked her up on payments and then the truck broke down mid october. shes not perfect but yes very restorable, I have an airbox to go on after I pick up a key. I believe she will clean up nicely...
