Here's what's happening:
about a month ago, there was a decent looking 73' CZ175 on ebay (now my Dad and my Granddad sold Jawas and CZs, even thought this one is about 5 years newer than they sold) and after reading the description and talking with the seller, I decided to keep an eye on the listing to see how it went. They usually go for more than I can handle AND they usually are TOO far away, this one was in Wisconsin (about 12hours away)!
The seller told me that IF I did pursue the CZ and won it, (if nothing else) he would bring it down to Fort Leonard Wood, MO and I could meet him there (for a small fee to cover some of his gas expense, as he was going there anyway). So, as things went, I ended up buying the CZ for a little over $200. It's complete, the engine turns over and has compression. These bikes are not complicated at all and shouldn't take hardly anything to get going and I'm in touch with a website for Jawa/CZ and folks with parts and such.
At any rate, with things that have been going on and keeping me occupied, the time slipped up on me (and it did on the seller as well). This morning, I got up, as usual, turned on the pc and, when I checked my email, I found one from him. He had been getting ready for the trip and as soon as he finished that email, he was heading out. I've got to do some QUICK checking to be sure that Karla will be taken care of and get arrangements for Joey as well!
I've got about a 4hr and 45minute trip ahead of me. Needing to leave out at about 1pm, to get there at about 6pm and probably won't get home til about 10:30pm!
Gonna be a heck of a day, but in the end, I'll have a motorcycle of the same brand that was sold in the family dealership and, I'm considering taking my Dad on this trip which I know will bee "No Problem" for him. He's ALWAYS ready for a trip!
