'preciate it, thanks! I actually just sold her this last Sunday to a lovely old gent who drove up from Muscle Shoals for it. Rode it all the way home with no reported hiccups! -

I don't know about the harley crowd, I ain't one of em (me undies generally have Fruit of the Loom on the waistband, not the HD logo. I don't know what a doo rag is for & chaps are for rounding up cows! ) but I picked it up from the offroad plodders. -

This is what happens when you put chrome on a motorcycle. See, the Engine Gods know when you're spending money on farkles instead of oil...... 1250 big bore kit & upgrade oil pump on order. -

I really don't like to think that 1990 was 34 years ago. We are to 1990 what 1990 was to 1956. Now that one really trips my tits! -

Yeah, this was an unexpected kick in the nards, that's for sure. But hey-ho, gives me something to do No epic story ever started with "so, I bought this bike in minty condition....." -

Nossir, it's a 1990 Evo 883 with a 1200 top end. It might look weird to you because I've carved up the cam & sprocket covers into a more esthetically appealing shape. The upwards curve & vertical back of the sprocket cover always looked unfinished to my eye. I've always wanted to try rounding one off, then dropping another curve in where the cases meet to mirror the 'swoop' at the back of the oil filter housing. Meanwhile, lurking behind the clutch...... I just knew there was something expensive going on back there. Time to pull the transmission -

Weeeeell......... you know how you occasionally just HAVE to have a mooch around on Facebook marketplace. Not really looking for anything in particular, but then you see a very tatty, rough looking Sporty with a clean title for $400? It came as rough as a bear's ass. Owner 'claimed' it was running last year..... the fire ant nest inside the cam chest determined that was BS. I've already rebuilt the top end & installed a set of rocker lockers. I've got to pull the clutch today & see if the generator rotor is intact. I found too much magnetic gravel in the primary case & I'm 99% sure the rotor is starting to break apart. After it's whole, it's going in a low, raked hardtail frame & I'm going back to my chopper roots ✌ -

I'm only selling this to fund a new chopper build. I didn't realize just how much I'd missed working on bikes the last 15 years, until I started fooling with them again. Now I've got a basket case 1990 Sportster that's screaming to go into a little rigid frame! -
1981 Yamaha XS650 Special 10,000 miles only. Might go up a bit..... Excellent condition, any test ride welcome (with cash) Comes with the factory King & Queen seat, as well as the flat one I had custom made. Unfortunately I don't have the original buckhorn handlebars. Paintwork & chrome is excellent. Engine is perfect & unmolested, starts at the first kick or button push. Alternator rotor was rewound last September. Also includes luggage rack. The bike has been incredibly well looked after & maintained its entire life. Always stored undercover & babied! Clean TN title $3200

1974 vintage, no silly safety. Original rear sight missing, but shoots waaaay better with the peep anyway! I bought this year's ago, sold it, then bought it back on here & other than 1 range trip, it's never left the house. Everywhere I hunt, these days, is way beyond .30-30 range. Time for someone else to enjoy it! Comes with +/- 100 rounds of mixed factory & my reloads (150 & 170gr) a set of Lee dies & whatever bullets I can find. $700 for the lot.
