I'm outta here...
« on: May 22, 2014, 09:20:44 AM »
It's been a great ride, but I sold the 750A today. Pristine, and I let it go cheap. Health is failing, and it's time to pass the torch to someone who appreciates it and has the time to ride it. I hope you guys finish up your As and enjoy 'em.  Take care...

sorry to see you go. Like Frank said, pop back in from time to time and shoot the bull. I know I will.

Likewise...hate to see a good bike go...provided you still hang around.  Afraid to ask...how much was cheap?

Stu, it was good reading your posts. You keep the left skid down.
