What is the matter with these old guys selling their bikes. I am 74 and Lord willing I plan on riding another 10 years at least. Sounds like a good deal for you though. Enjoy your good fortune to the max.

I'm seeing a lot more trikes than ever out there--maybe they're buying trikes?
Jim, I've known the fellow for a few years, his health is failing and he is headed back home to Wyoming. He had a fully restored 61 Caddy Coupe de Ville convertible that he let go of for what I thought was cheap.

I do understand that when we get to a certain age things start happening that we have no control over. Like we ever did anyway. I have many friends in bad health through no fault of their own. I did not mean to be flippant. Sorry to hear about your seller but glad you can now enjoy his bike. I ride with a bunch of old guys some pushing 90, so I feel rather young yet at 74. We have one guy that rides a Sportster with a cane holder on the handle bars for when he needs it after he gets off.

Good to keep the old girls on the road.
