a COUPLE new bikes?
« on: January 04, 2010, 12:36:27 PM »
wow, 2010 is starting out with some cool news!

i'm always envious of those threads where someone scores a cool bike for next to nothing...it's looking like i might actually get my turn.

a good pal that i used to work with years ago at a motorcycle shop, just moved down to la grange (about 70 miles from me) this past september.  he has his own cycle shop.  he's a great wrench, good dude, with lots of cool bikes and old cars.

he sends me a message this morning.
"a customer of mine says he has a couple old honda 350's...a '69 and what he thinks is a '72.  the '69 runs, the '72 did when it was parked.  he wants a couple hundred for them.  interested?"
 :o :o :o

uh, yeah!  i'm interested!!!

so he's gonna swing out and take a look at them maybe tonight.

two new projects for the winter (fingers crossed)!
