Is this worth the money??????

The post was "deleted by the author"--meaning, of course, that it sold. If it was a G80 and in good shape, it's worth it....I don't even know the asking price, but yep, it's worth it. Just to roll it down a hill and back off the spark advance to hear the over-run on the pipe---it's *SO* worth it!

And like the little idiot I am, I sold two of them!

It appeared to be in mint shape and they were only asking $300. Got to keep an eye on that Delaware Craig's list.

That price has to be a typo....the Lucas "Wader" magneto alone is $500.00 or so. (Oh, God, please let it be a typo, otherwise I have to go into deep mourning.....)

Jeez, that'd be worth £4000+ over here!

I got a pic of my Dad pulling a wheelie on a Matchless in a alley in DC about 1950. I`ll get it scanned so I can post it.

Barb, it was $2000 and not much more than a skeleton. Saying you missed out was just my round about way of saying visit more often
