I bought this last winter on a whim. I had one way back when and loved it. I always wanted to find another one and wanted a good one. I looked at a bunch of modified bikes and poorly maintained disasters. This was the first one i have found that is so original and well maintained. I drove to Boston in a snow storm to pick it up and the bike was exactly as i hoped it would be. I waited for the first warm day to be able to ride it and all the memories came flooding back. This is a fast bike with unbelievable amounts of low end torque. It pulls hard all through the rev range and the sound is absolute bliss. However, my back and wrists have aged a few years since my younger days and this riding style really doesnt work for me anymore. I hate to sell it but i cant really justify having it if i dont ride it. I am taking a huge loss at what i have it listed for,  but getting those youthful memories back was worth it. Hopefully it goes to someone who is able to fully enjoy it.
