No,no,no......those are just pics of what was picked up. My guys didn't take pics at delivery. BTW, heard from Dozuki this am; he found extra keys - including saddlebag keys - while packing for the move.

Also BTW: he's an actual Hero (more ways than one)

That bike's been for sale for "a while".

 

[Mikey]

I'm going to be in Rochester MN Wed
Thank god I only have a little hatch back
Although my friend has a truck and trailer
Nah Best let it be

 

[gggGary]

I've poured over those pics a time or two seems like there might be significant corrosion, issues with exhaust.
Those 74-5 mufflers in good shape are hens teeth.

 

[Mikey]

I already have that One 75 and I'm thinking boy it would be nice to get a nicer one
Lets see sell the one I have and make back my money and more
Nah I know what I have now

I just saw Mikey's posting and thought it might be a fit for OP.......not on FB (or in MN) and can't really see pics beyond first -small- one He might be "over it" by now

 

[Mikey]

Well over it
One 75 is enough

And when your content with the “One”,know your trying and you didn’t quit cold turkey.Or something like that.Ask Gary how he phrased that a few years back.It works!

 

[Mikey]

I've saw his shed of ill repute
It's pretty impressive
I have the 77 (Surprise ) and an 81 I have no idea why I bought it so 3 is good enough for now

My wife’s car now gets to pull in where before I “tapered off” it sat out. I also look forward to following Jp’s progress.Looks like a fine 75b candidate.

Always loved the looks of the 75 (and the French Blue 76 for that matter).

Oddly enough, I have very early "badge bikes" and later "Specials" in my collection...large "Standard" void in the middle.

And still farming with an “H”.

 

[Mikey]

Not true, I've already gotten them all.

Well, only 5 I can remember. and one of those might have been North Dakota.

My 75 came from White SD
So years ago I helped whittle down the supply a little
