Missed opportunity...
« on: August 27, 2010, 07:02:29 PM »
Dammit. 

Just dammit.

Today, in the local Craigslist, a guy in the very next town over, was giving away, free, a 1937 HD knucklehead with a sidecar.  He said it was a basket case, but complete.  Just wanted it gone.

I emailed him.  No reply yet, but the CL ad is gone now.

#$%*.

Would have been nice....   :'(

A friend has a hydraulic hose shop and a customer tacked a note on his bulletin board. Same deal, 37 harley but he wanted $1500 for his. Complete. No he didn't call me.
