2 new bikes to my collection....

[Mojoe]

I called this guy up this morning to see if he still had the bike for sale.
He said, "what's the ad say? $800? Give me $400 and it's yours. Half off today"

I looked it over good....pretty solid bike....pretty clean for sitting for 4 years.
Compression tested at 118-119 across the 4 cylinders.
I did manage to find enough wrong that I offered him $300.
He took it.
I think I stole it. I go to pick it up monday or tuesday.

That flip-up headlight is pretty cool. First time I ever see one up close. Just turn on the key and up it comes.

Am I to understand that Frenchies are just pissing away classic bikes? Dude that's an awsome find.

I just called for this one as well. 100% original and he is currently riding it. new tires, carbs are rebuilt. Needs a flasher is the back though cuz he said his dog got bored on it's chain, so he chewed the rear flasher off the bike.
I laughed when he told me that.
Anyway......$700 was my offer without even seeing it. He said come and get it.

So for a grand I got 2 bikes. not bad at all, imho.

you think so? if by volume you mean an 84 and 86 750, an 82 1100, a 92 and 93 1100.....then I guess you can say that.

Mojoe, you are the King!

It's a love hate thing.

I love those vintage Kats.

I hate that I can't find one.


Starting a Museum Mojoe?

How much is the admission to view them?

I can find you what you are looking for if you really want one.

museum? yes, how did you guess? I need the 91 or 92 250 kat....and a 92-93 400 kat to cover the basics. once I am done with that style, I will work on the GS models.

Hey....I gotta find something to do with all my spare time. rebuilding these old classics is as good a way as any.

[Kat-A-Tonic]

So... many... Katanas!

[knight_rider]

[ZukiFred]
