Nice, now when you park their won`t be a spot of oil, and you can leave the tools at home.
Dad had the 1938 Harley.

1938? No wonder. lol.... they don't leak anymore, and nothing falls off like the old ones. John, Suzuki makes good bikes. Also, check into the Kawasaki Nomad or Vulcan. My neighbor had a Nomad, it was a nice bike. (he owns a Heritage Softtail now)

Randy a friend bought a 168cc 0r 175 cc Harley 1953 trail bike for rock hunting, at this time it has 1100 mile`s on the spoke rim`s and org. tire`s.
he ask me to look in to selling it for him though the best offer yet was 1200.00
story for \ya Randy i was going to work about 0530 and this sore guy was standing in the sreet with hand`s on rib cage, bent over in ture pain, I stop and ask what is wrong loud and clear where is my FAT BOY, I don`t now bike model name`s, I said what the hell is a fat BOY, He said he lost his bike out in the field wrong it was be hind him he drove it of a road cut down a step slope and laid it over, that was about 0330 he was thinking. well this bike was laying down, i ask if it was ok to pick it up for him and start it up, he said go for it, that bike about kick my ass picking it up. got it standing on stand and crank it over not going to start, and well you know no kick start,
I said i`d send a tow for him, work was down the road a 1/2mile, after morning report, i took the truck over to the site, they pulled that bike out on it`s side,
I could`t say any thing i was in a state truck.

That is a nice lookin' bike Sands. I still haven't come up with the funds for a bike, but I sure want one.
Hope you get it and it works out with your back!

I ain't gonna say anything but look what it says at the bottom of that link you posted, I lied I have to say something. That should tell you something about the motorscooter you want. If you can pay cash for that thing, you can pay cash for a nice used Harley like a 1999 or a 2000 Harley. Look on ebay or craigslist or even your local paper for a nice used Harley. Everytime someone buys a new jap bike the price of a Harley teeshirt goes up.. Here John, remember this link? www.bmcycles.com/harleyVShonda.swfI can see you now on that, boulevard with a leather jacket and a full face helmet, fingerless gloves and a stogie hangin outta yer mouth...

i thought about the used road but i ain't in no condition to be tryin to fix stuff -- id rather get the light weight bike new and just beat the nutts off it for a month take it back let them adjust the valves and what not and from then on cruise like a gentlemen well close anyway haha -- and if the bike attracts woman too cool means less gas and drink money for me lookin for them hahaha
i was just lookin at the Vulcan and thats a real nice bike but outta my price range -- i only have a small 401K I'm gonna cash in it never gets any wear its been around 10 grand for years now gos up comes down it hovers in the 10.000 range so i fig i might as well grab something i can afford and get ridin wile the ridins good don't know how much longer my back will stand-it
