86er Posted July 13, 2013 Share #1 Posted July 13, 2013 Does anyone live near Sheboygan Falls Wi. that would be willing to take a look at this bike for me? Just see what kind of shape it is in. I haven't contacted the owner yet, but will if someone can help me. It's a long ways from Atlanta. It doesn't look like a Royale but that is fixable. If it's worth buying I might be interested. (Hey Don, would I have to change my name to 87er? ) http://appleton.craigslist.org/mcy/3819992366.html Thanks in advance for any help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Todd my friend how are you? You will get some people offering because we have a few members within about 40 miles from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyinfool Posted July 13, 2013 Share #3 Posted July 13, 2013 I am about 1.5 hours away if I can get my bike running and no one closer chimes in. I know there are a couple of members in that area. Mine will need a good shake down cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradT Posted July 13, 2013 Share #4 Posted July 13, 2013 I thought all 87's were Royals and the last standard was a 86 and only sold in Canada. Should have bought Swifty's 86, Maybe it is too fast for you Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyinfool Posted July 13, 2013 Share #5 Posted July 13, 2013 Nope, I am riding an '88 Standard. But it was built in October of 87 and has a very low VIN, so it could be a rebadged leftover 87. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it was just in the back of my mind, kinda like it was in back of my bike when we rode together! Besides, as nice as he has it, he would want too much for it.

RedRider Posted July 15, 2013 Share #11 Posted July 15, 2013 Todd, Tried to reach the guy late this afternoon and was unable. I even rode over to Sheboygan Falls and tried him again. I needed a ride to day so that's where I went. I also sent him a text. So, whenever he gets back to me, I will go see it. RR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyinfool Posted July 15, 2013 Share #12 Posted July 15, 2013 I almost was gonna take a ride up there just cuz and to help you look at it. What would the guy think if 2 ventures pulled up in his driveway? One the same vintage as his. It was to hot for me to go that far today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
86er Posted July 15, 2013 Author Share #13 Posted July 15, 2013 Thanks Jeff, and errr Jeff! I haven't heard back from him text-wise either. If I hear from him I'll let you know. I may look at that 86 as well, but it's a little over what I could spend right now, My 86 is stil running strong but with 175,000 on the clock and 3 crashes it's getting a little long in the tooth! The plastic is kinda rough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
