Spotted this on Craigslist

Hmmm, this could make an interesting toy.

My biggest concern is the rag in the sparkplug hole. Wonder if the engine is siezed from rust?

It's only illegal if you get caught.

If at first you don't succeed, use more lighter fluid

95% of Harley Davidsons ever made are still on the road... The other 5% made it home.

That bike was loved at one time. So sad how it has been treated. The tach, and speedometer look pretty good though.

I"m thinking someone with shiny ribs will be making a road trip to the nation's capital. Unless he's short on dough-re-mi.

Yeah, mentally I'm seeing a nice, fully restored bobber under all that dirt. Or steal the carbs and sell it for parts!

Actually... I've had my eye on this. http://greensboro.craigslist.org/mcy/4650165754.html Winter travelling.

Or maybe this one... http://winstonsalem.craigslist.org/mcy/4624154310.html

The first one is gone, so what was it? Did you buy it?

1st one was a KLR. Nah, I didnt buy it.

I realized that winter is the only time of year when I actually have time to do anything. So if I am going to take some long bike trips I need a bike that can handle some badly weathered roads. So I've been looking at some dual sports. KLR's and DR's seem to be the most reasonable ones.
