Thank you.  :)
Actually, she's into all of our bikes.  She's usually the one who finds them on craigslist, and she's usually the one who bargains with the seller for an agreed upon price.  I haven't bought a single bike without her help.  I'm pretty darn fortunate to have her.

With as much attention as that 65 is getting in this thread, looks like I may have to start a thread in the 'other bikes' forum for it.   :D  It's the next bike in line to get up and running.  Unfortunately when I put the engine together the first time, I forgot one little piece, so it has to come apart again.  Plus, I want to check to make sure I put the rings on correctly.  But after that, it should be a pretty quick build.  I imagine by Monday I'll have it roadworthy.  Then it's on to the 350.   :)

Let me get this straight...I think I read it wrong...your girl finds the bikes, calls on them, haggles the price, and she buys them too? Man, you got the life!!! Does she have any sisters???  8)

If it's going to be my bike, I fork out the money.  But yeah, that's pretty much how it works.   :D
I think it works out well also because she's so tiny and cute, and with a Vietnamese accent, the sellers can't resist her.   :D
