I've spent most of my money on women, motorcycles, and beer.
The rest of it I just wasted.

I've redone some of the main mechanical things (steering head bearing, tune up, carb rebuilds, fluid changes, new windscreen, new mirrors, new rubber etc)... I'm at $4500....think too high maybe?

That looks nice.
Having gotten to know a little about airhead owners (old and cheap :lol: ), I thought some of them were priced high.
I listed mine at $3750 and I got $3750 no problem. Although it took a week to sort out his insurance etc., the first person to see it bought it.

dougie....thanks for the reply...

Yeah, I've sold several airheads and the audience can be "cheaply fickle" some times. On the other hand, I've been fortunate in getting a good buck for the ones I do sell from time to time. They're always in pristine "preservation" condition, safety certified and ready to go..

Might rethink pricing on this one as I'd like to get on with selling it asap. Got other things to do....send me some of your "cheap' airhead lovers and we'll talk... :D

As soon as the ownership is transferred (perhaps tomorrow) I am going to notify 2 or 3 people who inquired about my RS.
I will suggest they check into yours. I think they were looking for an RS, but you never know.

Bring at round to my house and its Sold! You could almost double your money for that over here. No damn low km bikes left in this country.

Well, you and Canadia are the only ones who suffer from Everywhere-Is-300-Miles-Away-From-Everywhere-Else disease worse than we do. ;)

I am 300 miles away from everything outside my 300 mile radius.
I'll bet most of us are. Even in Liechtenstein (or the Vatican City, if you want to take it that far).

At least you picked the biggest one! And most likely the most sparsely populated per square mile, excepting any of the small ones that have no one, if there is such a thing. I'm at home - I don't have time for my usual research like I can do at work! ;)
