No. I called him, phone rang and rang, finally he answers. Very noisy background, static, etc. He asked me to call back in an hour. I did so. No answer. Left a VM asking him to call me back. Nada.

Could be an old man (good), could be a scam (bad), could be a garden-variety idiot (bad). I live an hour south of the Atl airport. Not sure I want to drive 7 hours each way to find out it's sold, no longer available or a POS.

Also, his ad indicates lots of work done to bike (rings, valves, timing chain, fork seals, spline lube, etc). Would like to know who did work since he lives in BF Kentucky.

Bottom line, I'm in no rush and I've learned over the years that it's a good idea to vett the owner a bit before hitting the road with a pocket full of cash. May have to let this one go.
