Squidley Posted December 29, 2011 Share #2 Posted December 29, 2011 Thats a good machine you got there, I owned it before Kenny and I bought it from a member in Tennessee.

Lost the travelling job. Took care of my terminally ill dad, and have been clawing my way back up for a while. Sometimes it ain't easy being me. LOL But I'm way happier today!

Venturous Randy Posted December 30, 2011 Share #13 Posted December 30, 2011 I remember that bike. I looked at it for Squidley down near Knoxville Tn. I ended up picking it up for him and tweaking with it some and then meeting him in Portsmouth, OH when he lived in Michigan. That is a nice bike and wanted to keep it for myself if Squidley did not buy it. I had it's twin setting on my carport I picked up for another member until last Friday. I am not going to say who it was until he is ready to let his cat out of the bag. RandyA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squidley Posted December 30, 2011 Share #14 Posted December 30, 2011 I remember meeting you with my Dad and Lonna in tow and trailering it back home with the Station Wagon. You hauled it with your Maxima wasn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 30, 2011 Share #15 Posted December 30, 2011 Boy, that bike has sure made the rounds. Reminds me of my barhopping days when we used to pass ol' whats her name around for, well, you know...... Just kidding. The bike looks great and well kept too.

You hauled it with your Maxima wasn't it? Yep, that was it and I did pull it with my Maxima. Had a great little visit and meal with you folks. This bike I found for another member is also going to make a nice bike. It has some bad fairing damage, but he has already found most of the stuff he needs. As much as I appreciate people parting out these old bikes as I sometimes need parts, I love it when they end up starting a new life.

MikesBike Posted January 3, 2012 Share #18 Posted January 3, 2012 I hated to let it go! I thought I was helping the family out by selling it, turns out they just helped themselves and I ended up without a bike. The person I bought it from lived South East of Atlanta in Georgia. So, from Georgia to Tennessee to Ohio to Louisiana and now to Alabama. Just a big circle... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got to go out now and lube the speedo cable before it breaks. And see about bleeding the clutch. Thanks again to all the owners that took such good care of the bike.
