    Well I was selling a 200s on craigslist, the guy came too look at it when I wasnt home so my dad showed it to him, However my dad showed him this one instead of the 200s and the guy bought it, as soon as I found out what happened I contacted him sadly I never heard back from him, so I gave up. Later that year I sold another 185 that I had because I was leaving for basic training. So I saw this posted to craigslist and I didnt think twice about buying it oddly he was only around 8 miles from my house and I drive by his place all the time!! So today I walked into his garage, there it was, my other 185 that I had sold along with this one, He explained to me how its very hard to pull over and he couldnt handle it little does he know I put a 12:1 Piston in it before I sold it . I just cant believe that he had them both! What are the odds of that?!?! And it was around 4 years ago that I sold them. Here is a pic I took around the time it got sold!

    That is very cool man, seems like pretty crazy odds. There is definitely a bike or two that I have sold that I would love to find.

    Wow, congratulations. I remember you looking for it but not the details. Is it a suspended 185?
