'72 Commando 750 from 2nd owner, 17k miles, matching numbers and I SWEAR, again, this one found me . . .stray cats, I tell you. Wrong tank and needs some TLC, but solid and all there. Rescued from a shed. Cleaned it a bit and already starting to shine. Would be perfect for a mild café conversion, maybe an alloy tank and manx seat, clip-ons . . . OK I need the therapist's chair ASAP.

Shoulda talked to me before you pulled the trigger. I can get 'em for about $600.

Hey! You should give my wife some hints for birthday presents that would blow the doors off pretty much everything on my wishlist then... then wed both profit ;-)

Why didn't you say something five bikes ago!!

 

[Tim]

See, I save it up for big huge massive things.

 

[buckeyebike]

There's that absolutely killer view again Just got it out of my head and whablaaam, it's back.

BEAUTIFUL!

 

[Tim]

Oh, and don't let the stupid massive TV, vacuum etc. fool you. This place is off-grid. No electrical service. It's wired up with a 200A panel and circuits, but runs on a generator. First thing to do is put a solar system/batteries in place. It has propane for the fridge and will get a propane stove and hot water heater. So all I need power for is the water pump and lights and a few odds and sodds.

If I need any serious power for tools / welder etc in the future I'll fire up the generator as needed.

...and hot water heater.

This just in from the Department of Redundancy Department...

Why do you need to heat Hot Water?

 

[Tim]

Good question that. Maybe I need a hot water cooler.

If you're looking to get rid of the tank, let me know when, my Norton is missing one, and a lot of other stuff, too.

Never again shall I look outside to see my Virago peeing all over the ground.

First it drops it little balls, now it is incontinent.....

Would you even know what to do with yourself if it ran for a year without needing any work?

 

[Rich Ard]

As soon as I bought the Goldwing it straightened right up. Took it for a hundred mile ride right before I put it away with no issues. Stupid universe.
