Bill is gonna kill me but........
« on: April 14, 2008, 08:23:11 PM »
Sorry Bill.....

The goldwing is on the block.

I rode it less than 100 miles in the last year so it has to go.

I counted up the bikes and projects and came up with 17.

Thats too many...so off to Evilbay it goes....we'll see if it sells.

Gonna sell off the other GL1000 the one with 1987 miles on it as well.

Need to restore my new CB400F and the other three 750's awaiting attention.

         Awwww Tim, say it ain't so. :'( 


       
Maybe not.

Hey, Bill, how far are you from McAllen, TX? ;)

           Bob, if I had the bucks, I'd be on my way to get that Wing of Tim's. ;) Sure hate to see it go, but a person has to make decisions at times. I won't kill Tim for putting it up for sale. :-\  So far, I've seen Uncle Ernie sell his Indian Chief (& 400F), I've seen KCs76cafe sell his Mean Green CB750K and now Tim has his Wing up for sale. When will it end. ::) 

            Okay, I've kinda settled down a bit. Only have one more thing and that is :P . Opps, sorry about that, that slipped out. Tim, I know that you so what you gotta do and I'll get over it. It won't be easy, but I'll get over it.  ;)

                             Take care, Bill :) ;)

          Well, while I will miss the Wing, I am looking forward to seeing the "Frankenbike" progress (among others). 8)

           You don't have a payment plan, do you? Sorry, that just kinda slipped out. ;D

Me too Bill.

Had alot of fun with it but I just never ride it.

It got to the point I had to charge the battery every time to get it started.


That hanger is secretly a SOHC area 51.  ;D

Theres two airplanes in there. Neither flyable at the moment...I use them as camo for the motorcycles  ;D

         Sure doesn't seem to be much activity on the ol' Wing. Not that I'm wanting to see it go, but I know that Tim could put the money to good use though. I figured that it would have seen more attention than it has so far. Of course, lots of things start getting active towards the end, don't they.

                              Later on, Bill :) ;)

if i was willing to bid 850 early in the auction... there WILL be action. 
just way to early to tell... watch the last half hour or so.

         Yeah, I figured the last bit of it should get with it. I will tell you something else too, if I had the Buy It Now Cash, there would be no last few minutes because it would be on my trailer headed back to my house. ;)

                                      Take care,  Bill :) ;)

I don't understand why someone hasn't clicked the "Buy it Now" button yet...  $1800 is a great price for a wing in that condition.

Probably has a lot to do with the location.  There's nothing wrong with McAllen, TX, but it ain't exactly in a high population density area.
