He was actually just a good ole guy with more money than since. He said he had bought a bunch of stuff and was never happy with any of it so, he sold the bike. It's definately one of the best deals i've ever encountered. Now, If I could just score a deal on the docking hardware, i'd been in good shape.

....oh...this reminds me of my own little score, just today.. 60inch wide, "Garage-Toys" rolling tool cabinet for my man-town... $500!! retails for over $2200.00. My best friend been storing his friends stuff at $200 a month at a storage place, the guy lost his house and moved to FL. He told my buddy to start selling the stuff to help him with the storage bills. He said get whatever you can, so I grabbed it. He has another matching one, and a 66 Dodge Coronet with a big block 318 in there too,...hmm...might go shopping again soon..

yup...like a wedge...they made both a small and big block back then..this even has a dual-quad set up for it, brand new Holley 500's on it..real solid 2 door. He would take $5k for it... technically they were called 318-A Wide blocks...cool engines
