    Yeah, dont pass that up for $250..... I'm surprised he still has it. Even if you store it away for a rainy day or winter project, I think you would regret not getting it. Good like, try to talk him down a but, and post somepics when you get her home!!!!

    Update

    I went and picked it up this morning. At the end of the day I couldn't pass the deal up @ $225. It really is amazing what people let happen to their stuff. These pictures are how it came and from me getting it back and unloading it.

    Glad to see that you bought it. You'd have been a fool not to!! Mine was in FAR, FAR worse shape then yours! Was in a fire, frame was rusted, engine had melted plastic all over it, cylinder was filled with water, crankcase had a mix of oil and water, no rear suspension, bent forks, sat outside for probably two decades... I brought it back from the dead.

    I like buying a neglected machine. They are cheaply priced and once you give it some attention, they show you love. When your done with this build you will really know what you have. Piece by piece...

    I think I'm going to get the motor checked out by my guy and see if it will show me some love!!! Your exactly right Jmoozy about knowing it piece by piece.
