The predictions are coming true. I beleive it was Du Keeps who predicted that within the next 5-10 yrs we'd see a flood of Harley's hitting the second hand market on account of the Boomers realizing they wernt bikers after all (couldn't happen soon enough if you ask me). This year I beleive we've seen the beginning of this trend. Although it hasn't started with EVO's yet, I have seen an unusual amount of ironheads hitting the market for great prices. I know I know not the best engine HD ever made, but a close relation to the Shovel, they have a great look and are well suited for choppin and bobbin. And for $3000 it get's awful tempting to take a crack at one. http://saskatoon.kijiji.ca/c-ViewAdLargeImage?AdId=156074253&ImageIndex=2
No, shit. 3large. It seems (reasonably) just to be the sportys that are starting to come cheep. But ya, unless i had munny to burn i'd rather take the mid 80's jap crap. Or ad another 1.5k and get a modern shadow...
ReplyDeleteUnfortunatly i suspect it wasn't till the late '90's that the sportys were anything special. (to drive)
Didja see that gnarly dude, with that '77 kz750 twin chopper? That's pretty rad. except his tank says "if you want to find hell come ride with me." hm.... I guess I could use a change from... YO MAMA!
ReplyDeleteYeah. I think that was the bike talking. Looked like hell anyway. Scary lookin ride. $3500 my ass.
ReplyDeleteBut seriously, if we love jap p-twin choppers should we post him and his bad ass kz? I'm not gonna because i post stuff off kijiji to often and I'm starting to feel a little unorigianal and like i have nothing better to do with my lunch break ever since i was banned from spanking it in the staff room.
ReplyDeleteI thought it looked pretty good. Some recent work, decent shape, bugger all for milage. seems nice, I just don't think im man enough read: mechanic enought to own an 80 hog. I'd love an old brit bike to, but same issue. I have shiny wrench disease.
ReplyDeleteDamn I hate looking at this thing everyday. I should have bought that shit.
