        Was listed at $1,300, there is a nice one in Daytona for that much. I'm going to see if it will run tomorrow. The tank is the biggest worry. Looks like someone used a sealer in it, and the turpintine has been dripping out the right back corner. Till tomorrow.

            If you want to get technicle, that would be $1,100. No, they were dreaming. $1,300 for a bike that isn't running. I offerd $200 as is with out trying to get it to run. I'm sure they new it wouldn't. You could smell the turpintine yards away. I knew I had other prospects waiting in the wings, so it was take it or leave it. They were desperate for rent money also. I'll try to get it running tomorrow. After I get a new tag if that happens early enough. Worst thing is the tank. I did wait a guy out $1,200 for my '78 1000. It started at $2,000 and I bought it for $800. The guy graduated from U of F, and moved to Cal. to finish educ. Sometimes it pays to wait and sometimes you have to be bold and not worry about offending, like today.

                I don't know. I will be a quick flip if it will run. I have a couple of inlaws that want me to find them a cheap bike. This might be the perfect canidate for one of them, being a shafty. Seems like a lot of members that need parts for these Gs so if the engine is bad, I might part it out.

                  Rick. What are we looking for ? A drive in diner, where they serve to you in the car? Or a diner with a parking lot? Or just a diner?

                    Diner with car service is the intention, but like I said, I didn't put much emphesis on the car service, when I took the photo. So a regular diner will do. It would be nice to see an old one though, but not a requirement to get the tag.

                          Welp, I didn't get it. I was feeling like hell all day and decided to just high tail it home.

Jack toy built it on a bet, after the city expropriated his land for the street. He compensated by building bay windows, and building a bath house under the sidewalk. The squares you see on the sidewalk are glass panels over the bath house.
                              When I lived in Chinatown that's where I bought all my insurance. Do you live downtown(referring to your west end shots of the Thurlow and Burnaby area)or only work there? I also cannot believe these guys are letting you get away using that oil cooled 16inch wheeled beast in this thread.

                                Yup, I live in the West end. Shot was from my balcony. I bought the 1100 a couple of months ago for touring. So I've been riding around to familiarize myself with it. I still prefer the 750 for play though.
