Helluva bargain,
I wouldn't part with my 18000 mile one owner 1977 model for even double that price.

Nice find.

In another day and time I'd have jumped on that.
I'm still tryin to recreate the fun I had with my first 78 - stock w/ dyna coils and ignition.
Sold it - very bad idea.
I've come to the realization the one I'm working on isn't going to be quite the same and it has cost me in new parts and upgrades not to mention time. Doh!
The odd thing GL's seem to linger on CL around here but that one won't I reckon.
Priced right. "asking" $1000. To me that means - $800
Not gonna do it!

Then there is this guy.

Was listed at $5 then $4.5 now $39.. This has been listed for at least 2yrs. not kidding.
I don't get when people hang on to stuff they want to sell just to get a few extra bucks waiting (long) for the "right" buyer. etc.

Get going that's a nice looking bike, :whip: always have favored the 1200 standards :whistling: but if you fancy the earlier ones buy it, your not getting any younger. 
oh2: You need THREE of anything to juggle, :headscratch: currently keeping four going myself, two 84 standards, & two dressed. That way you take all the time needed to do a nice job, as there's another of the same type to ride. :yes: This is really a factor when a standard is down, as tire's & wear items need replaced, when the weather's hot. :heat: Nice to stop working, sweating, climb on another standard, go for a ride & a pleasant type of attitude adjustment. :yahoo: When you return, your perspective is much more agreeable, :good: you just might go back to working on the bike on the table. :hihihi:

Denver,
You a bad influence. :music:
Nobody but me to tell me I shouldn't. That said, I've brought home 9 of these 2 of which were parts bikes in the last 5years. Sold a few and ended up with 3. 1 more is almost running - short trip/rally bike. Then I'll have a back up - and you are right we need a backup. I'm kinda done with that.
I must say I was tempted, but I'd probably have to hide that one somehow - if ya know what I mean.
