That was a dumb thing to do unless he started it up once in a while. Seals will go to hell in no time. I used to have an'86 FLHT (sold it to a friend and he still rides it), those early motors are bullitproof.

That is the precursor to the Road Glide. I don't think he would take 6 bills for it.

This is my buddies '87 (I think). I was so stupid for not buying it. He has offered it to me multiple times for 4 grand. I have always said no. One of these days if I have the cash handy, I will ****** that sucker up. I have ridden many, many miles on it, and these Glides are extremely nice bikes. Especially given the fact they are decades behind the new bikes from a technology stand point.

With only 8 miles, it won't have the usual longevity problems, but if I got it, I'd still pull the axles and swing arm pivot and coat them with anti seize; the factory put them together dry and having the axles rust to the inside wheel spacers is no fun. Why the pivot? I'm going to have to cut mine off and press the remaining shaft out of the transmission and hope I don't break a case. Be a good idea to do pull the tank and do that rust treatment to it, too. Might be old, and a bit underpowered with a stock 80, but it's still a good handling and comfortable touring bike. But if the owner wants over 10K, I wouldn't be surprised - and wouldn't spend near that much for an EVO I was going to ride. It's a museum piece, or will be if left alone.
