Central Texas Hookup?

[JuliusPleaser]

I bought my # 2 dream bike on **** this week, but it's in Lubbock, TX.

I'd be happy to pay some $$ if someone in central TX would pick it up and bring it to DW.

I'd prefer not to let the guy disassemble it to ship it.

Isn't it beautiful? :ride:

I hope you didn't low ball the guy!
That's a, uhm ... classic!?!

 

[Treejumper]

I hope you didn't low ball the guy!

Now that was funny! :rotfl:

BTW, what is it?

 

[JuliusPleaser]

It's a 1978 XR75. It's almost exactly like the one my father never would buy for me. I gotta have a winter project.

It's therapy, man. THERAPY. :think:

Danman isn't sure he is going to make it this year. Get me the info and I can get it. I go within 100 miles of Lubbock about every other week, and if you have looked at a map of Texas that is close in West Texas. :bang:

 

[JuliusPleaser]

You are the MAN! :cool:

I'll have the info tomorrrow.

 

[Moteaux]

If Tony can't make it let me know. I have family out there about 30 miles away and should be making a trip out before DW. I know Tony is in the area often, but if it doesn't work out, let me know and I may can help out.

LOL! I live in "Central Texas" and that part of "Central Texas" is 390 miles away JP! :laugh:

 

[JuliusPleaser]

LOL. I thought I would just 'swing by' Lubbock on the way to DW.

Turns out it's only 7 hours out of the way. :ohmy:

 

[DougRoost]

That's not Central Texas, it's Western Oklahoma!!!

 

[Tony Eeds]

Isn't it beautiful? :ride:

Yup, and in my GARAGE!!! :cool:

See ya in a few weeks!

 

[JuliusPleaser]

:cool: Thanks, Tony! I owe you. Pred suggested I get you a six pack and a lapdance, but I'm not that kinda girl. I could do dinner and some line dancing though. It's your call. ;)

So. . .on a scale of 1 - 10, how ugly is it? Does it look like it's worth $227.53?

It is a bit rough, but not that bad. There is only one small dent in the tank and the finish and decals appear original. I think the bars are after market. The front fender is original ( as I remember it). It is clearly worth what you paid for it as long as the engine isn't trashed.

I forgot ... the pipe is banged up as well and the seat is in fairly good shape.

 

[JuliusPleaser]

Excellent! Can't wait to see it. :aj:

 

[Patman]

I can't remember one w\that didn't have a banged up pipe. Well maybe the brand new one that a friend had but the pipe got bashed pretty quick.

 

[JuliusPleaser]

Someone on e 2tha bay is reproducing the DG up-pipe for the XR. Might be my first purchase. :ride:

 

[Brian]

Tony, should I come over and test ride it for JP?

 

[JuliusPleaser]

You can ride it all you want. . .after you get it running.

Watch out for that spooge comin' outta there Stanley....:moon:

 

[Patman]

Stan the man, king of Spoogeland!

 

[DougRoost]

Spooge is good....except on a 4 stroke!
