But I only paid $40 for it.
So last week I asked if this 73 750 twin was worth trading a $400 shot gun for. You guy's told me to run away from it because of the junk motor. Well I did run away from it last week end. The motor is just about froze solid. I couldn't budge it with my 200#'s. The owner did get it to kick all the way threw with a lot of force. I wasn't comfortable with that, but it was his bike. How ever, I did offer the guy $10 for the tool kit. He declined my offer.
So fast forward to this week end. I offered the guy $20 for the tool kit, which he accepted. To make a long story short, I got the rest of the bike for $40, with a title. I know this may or may not be a good thing. I'm just hoping the crank isn't locked up. But if it is, I'm thinking surely I can make a little bit of money off of parting it out. Maybe not. Maybe I wasted $40. I guess I'm about to find out.
The seat is super nice, the paint is decent. And it has the DID high shoulder rims that are really nice too. I figure I can scrap it and get my money back,,I hope.
So I thought I'd just share a couple of quick pic's for your amusement. You guy's can start laughing at me now.
