    since the wife hasn't worked in a year I'm sorry to say i just put the bike on Ebay. Broke it in yesterday very carefully. What a treat! Carb jetting was spot on, power was extreamly smooth and gobs of it.

    Don't mean to be rude but is she as pretty? Mines a '78 model and a good runner but I agree with Michel, wife goes first.

    Would not consider selling the wife after 35 years. We just figured out how to get along real well, thank God! The bike on the other hand, although very very nice will be missed but not like a wife. The reserve on Ebay was 4900.00 and it got to 4000.00 on the auction so I still have it.

    I agree, it would be gone by now if it were cheaper to go to Australlia or the UK
