Yo! My name is Ray and I have been riding for about 10 years and I have FINALLY added a vintage bike to my stable A 78 550 shes a $500 barn find that needs a lot of work but I think its doable. I'm always down to ride if anyone is in the Los Angeles area!

That looks to be a good deal for $500, other than the butt-ugly seat. Does the motor turn freely? Are the exhaust pipes in good condition, or are they rotted out with rust cancer? The '78 550 would have the up-graded cam cover that fixed the rocker shaft wear problem of the early 500/550.
