The bike has had a top to bottom rebuild, which counts & I think I've warmed him up to the fact that it's maybe only worth 5K. He is a well known old actor & has had the bike since new in 1969. He's just not ridden it at all since the rebuild 10 years ago, so I think it's just been sitting for 10 years, only being started every 6 months or so. Funny thing is that I just sold my only other bike, a Triumph Scrambler, in order to go vintage. I dunno what it is, maybe a gut feeling, but having now had an 04 Bonneville & an 06 Scrambler, I just cannot stop thinking about an old bike. I would like to work on it & have it run as a strong daily rider, which is possible. I'll know by end of week where I stand with required work & a price. Hopefully I'll post pics too. Thanks.
