Fine, trade you for the K8!  But really, that bike is too nice to do anything but keep it that way.

If you need to clean out some of that stuff, I need a mother load of parts.  Really!

Sorry to hear about your sister. I'll think of her when I ride my K8. Did you get it running yet or do you need a motor?

Did I mention I want a K8?  Bad?   But nowhere near as nice as Stev-o's.

Well, to add to the vultures... I'd be interested in the vac gauges and a 4-1, if you are looking to sell.  If not, enjoy that haul. :)  Looks like a good find!

I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"
