Adding one to the stable

EXCITER!!!!! Believe it or not, the wifey, who crashed at MSF when she dropped one of the Suzi forward control 250 pieces of **** while trying the slow figure 8's, spraining her wrist, ankle, and swearing never to get on two wheels again, is interested in giving it another go. Found this on Craigs list, 9000 miles, lady rider, looks like I'm gonna pick it up Monday, $800. Need a project, and been looking for a small single, think this might fit the bill. Anyone have any experience with one? It's the model with the factory trunk that replaces the pillion half of the seat when wanted. Looks to be in good shape, stock (like I was expecting a turbo, right?) and well kept.

If it doesn't work out for here, maybe I'll start taxiing Vietnamese families and their stock or sumpin.......

Sweet! Carver has another top box for you! So, the custom paint job for frank is on hold then?

No, but then his blue isn't bad enough to warrant a redo yet anyway. We'll see.

I had one of those once upon a time. Mine didn't even look that good. It had been busted up a might before I got it.

Probably a Minnesota MSF training bike -- they had a bunch of 'em. Sidestand switches were often faulty -- probably run forever, otherwise. Put on a dirt bike/ATV/regular handlebar -- anything but what came with it from mamayama.

Yeah, the cruiser bars aint doin' it for me, either. I hope it didn't have a MSF life, can't think of a worse duty cycle than that. Well, maybe the IBR, but thats it.....

Yeah.. sorry Rad, but I'm still using my pretty blue and gold top box. TWN secretly covets it..

That's a cool little scoot.

You've got a PM, Rad. (can't talk here-national security issue)
