I really like that tach design! Price seems very good. If it were near me and I saw it, I'd snap it up.

Do it. Do it now.

Why are you still reading this? You should already be en route with a trailer.

Oh hey, I've driven 4,000 miles round trip to pick up a bike on plenty of occasions. Don't be a pussy!

it's the kid's birthday today. then work all week.



have done some basic research. parts are not impossible to find. the tech is within my grasp. the price is fair.

Do it. Now. Pieces of history like this duck are becoming so scarce. Also, don't be concerned what the girlfriend thinks. If she wants to make it to the next level she needs to appreciate and support your passion for restoring old artwork. If you have the money and space you should be clearing a space in the (shop? Living room? Kitchen?) For it.

U do not have much downside on this, in other words you do even have to touch it to make money. It is kooool looking...thumbs up from an unrepentant hoarder...ahhh I mena collector.

Just think in a few years the Pickers can come by and make you and your stuff into an episode.

All these posts and not a single request for a pic of the GF. Even if you disregarded the PPOT unanimous recommendation, the translation: her reservations are a non-factor. :D

Just DO IT! What's the worst that could happen??

You just gave Motion a heart attack...... and he's checking flight costs right now

As a Chinese person. I can endorse this whole heartedly.

I see what you did there :D

So, you buying it?

I can barely restrain myself

i want it.


will see when i get there. i have the money. but there is a limit as to what my skill level can handle. i've had good luck putting old bikes back together. but there have been a couple i wish i'd never gotten involved with. hard to tell until you've laid hands on. and often not even then.

No camping planned for this weekend, so I'll be in Anchorage if you need help. But it sounds like you have this under control.

If it makes you feel any better, your girlfriend may buy a purse for 3 grand in the future.

It's a single - it can't be THAT complicated.

Just send him a check and get it when you can. Done it several times

Any St John, Canada Pelicans here? I'm on my way to pick up a bike in AK and passing thru tonight. Lets meet for a beer!
