I've been trying to get someone to come get this XS stuff I've had in my garage for a long time. Most I'll just give away to the right person but no one is willing to come look. That saddens me. I've got 10 - 12 parts engines and tons of other stuff I need gone because I'm just getting to old to screw with it anymore. Lots of other mechanical parts, wheels, frames, and a couple project bikes I'll let go cheap. An 80 MNS and an 83 XJ 550. I just need room in my garage. Don't ask about pieces and parts, just come look and bring a trailer. You won't leave empty. In Tulsa, Oklahoma

Not as much as I used to but yeah. I just need to make room in my garage and I want this stuff to go to someone that needs and/or wants it. I'm just keeping stuff to keep my 2 XSs on the road.

I tried to give away a complete midnight with title last year and had so many douch bag comments I couldn't believe it.
still have it but sold some parts"If A equals success, then the formula is: A = X + Y + Z. X is work. Y is play. Z is keep your mouth shut." - Albert Einstein

Yeah, I know what you mean. Is there no integrity anymore? If I was giving away $100 bills someone would want to know how many and the serial numbers. I hate to do it but no one steps up it's not going to help anyone.

If I were closer, and had the room, I'd jump on it! But, at almost 70, and with no room in a "2 car garage" for ANY car, not going to happen...Ray Matteis

Wish you were closer. 8.5 hours of driving is a lot in an old pickup. Considered selling it on ebay? I know it can be tedious but you'd have a much better chance of someone like me getting hold of it that's too far away to make the drive.Comment

Flea bay is a huge hassle. Boxing, shipping, and dealing with the site itself. I just don't have the time or inclination.Originally posted by OldGreyBeast View Post
