OP: GREAT story! Glad you've been reunited.
The person that's interested in my Grandson's Nighthawk (see SCR900 thread) is a cousin of the guy that bought, and subsequently blew up, my '79.
I've been around the block enough times to know better than to say "never", but the FJ has ruined me for anything less for riding on a regular basis. Between the comfort (never realized how small an XS really is) and performance (wooooooooo!) it just ain't the same. If a REALLY special XS was to come along (say...a '74 like the one I bought new...) I might be sorely tempted.
Wife even mentioned the possibility of me buying the daughter's Bolt. That's not gonna happen both because I don't have the resources and because the cruiser riding position just KILLS my back. A couple of miles is about all I can tolerate.
