The guy actually wanted $600 for it. I told him $300 and walked when he said no. I got a call to come back five minutes later. ;)

DAMN! Nice score man, I don't want to negotiate with you though,
 
Snagged this 1977 xs650 from the original owner, he was the nicest guy I have ever purchased a bike from. Never seen someone take such good care for a bike for that long.

Just kidding! Its an 81, and 5 minutes on the charger had it turning over!
 
I had the 81 GPZ 550 I bought new in 81, that was a real cafe racer out of the box! Those bikes are fun and handle quite well.

You bought that 550? I was gonna go try and buy that today but didnt have time

Sure did! I had no idea you were close by man. You coming to the meltdown in a few weeks?

Oh yeah, more pics of that xs! Looks like a beauty!
 
Not terribly close I am actually in Columbia, SC but my parents have a house near Batcave so I keep a close eye on the Asheville CL. I think we talked some at barber last year but I am not certain. Yeah I am hoping to make it to the melt down but we will see. Maybe the Raleigh Euro bike night as well.
 
Awesome man! Yeah we did talk at barber then. And I live a little south of lake lure. We will be having some dtt guys staying with us for the meltdown weekend. You oughta drop by for some beer and burgers that weekend if you want..
 
Yeah If I remember correctly you said you are off of highway 9. I'll be with my dad and brother so we can surely stop by and have a few beers.

Lol. I wish that was what she said.

Did she say 'what the hell are you going to do with that long skinny thing'?

Jesus, somebody buy something else before we get two pages of ourselves!

That makes cab sync a less than 10 min job, it takes longer to remove tank, connect everything up than to get carbs right.
Make sure you remove screwdriver and blip throttle a few times to let hings settel into place
