Hi All,

New to the forum, saw this on eBay and thought someone might be interested.

I was thinking of trying for this but it seems like its going high for a bike w/o motor. Over $500 already and still more than a day left. It is only a few hours from me so maybe I'll keep an eye on it.

Aquaelvis,

I live about 35 minutes from Yucaipa. I too had been watching this item but where the price is now I don't think it is worth it for a bike without a motor. If you're serious and need help in any way, let me know and I'll do what I can to assist.

Thanks Vince. I'm going back and forth. It would be a good driver I guess but might hold out for a complete one. I've passed on a couple and regret it now- but they are out there.

Vintage motorbikes of any kind are hard to find here in southern Illinois.....I guess most people were too poor to afford them around here.

That bike went for big money, over $800. I assume it was because it was a senior. Other than the motor it looked pretty complete... New running gear and you're off!
Makes me happy I got that Powell last week and spent what I thought was on the high side of the value. I bet it would do great on eBay!
