1983 Aspencade

[KYWinger]

All-
We finally decided to move up :shock: We're gonna get a late model 1800 :clapping: , so my trusty '83 will soon be on the market -tons of upgrades and rebuilds. I'm still putting it back together, so it's not ride-able yet; but soon!
I'll offer it to my friends here at CGW first....anyone interested, I can talk to offline with a list of upgrades and rebuilds....

Might want to hang on to it a few months. Just in case the 1800 disappoints in some way.

 

[joedrum]

yep id say it going to come close to stomp the crap out of the 1800 maybe ... I know what the angry dresser did to one 1800 owner ...he sold it and the 1000 he had too ...and totally got out of wings .... it really upset him how dirty old angry did to both of his bikes ...

.....potentially for sale with trailer? :yes:

(or, maybe trailer for sale that really only works well with 1100's like the one I have that needs a trailer?) :hihihi:

 

[KYWinger]

Sorry Gerry! Trailer stays! I've got a new Kelty Arcadia 4 tent, new cot and new chair coming....
Joe- I want something that isn't 31 years old. And 1800cc of torque beats 1100cc every day. Fuel injection, electronic cruise, built in GPS - all things I want. I don't think you do as much camping as I do, and if we ever get a Time-Out or Leisure-Lite, we sure cant tow that with the 1100.

I'll keep ya posted....just got the cams, belts and radiator back on, taking a break...LOL

 

[KYWinger]

This is what I'm going to go see....

Tent envy got the best of you huh? :smilie_happy:

Hey, that's a nice tent! :shock:

 

[KYWinger]

Brian - yup.... After seeing yours at Joe's, it made me want one big enough to stand up in and to put a cot in....

 

[Ansimp]

Makes good sense John, I hope your new 1800 is a gem. It sure looks nice, just remember it is almost twice the size of a 4cyl GW :smilie_happy:

 

[KYWinger]

Ansimp - yup, it's heavier.... Most of the members of our Chapter have 1800's and I ridden a few....

 

[mcgovern61]

That is a nice bike John! Love that color too! I hope that one is the right one and works well for you!! :clapping:

 

[joedrum]

yep me too .. im sure if one showed up id have no problems going for it .. of course that aint happening price wise for a long time LOL

 

[KYWinger]

That's the downside, Joe - I'm looking at about $15K...........

 

[dan filipi]

The 1800'S are nice bikes.
I'm happy for you John.






:rant:

 

[KYWinger]

Dan- The 1100 is still in my garage and we don't have a new one - there are not a lot to choose from in the Northern KY/Cincinnati area.....

Did I mention my 1200 cost me $2,600? :mrgreen:

 

[KYWinger]

yea, yea, yea.... I paid $600 for my Aspencade....I have $3450 in it so far.... LOL

 

[charles franz]

John, All I can say is congrats, and ENJOY the RIDE!!!! Charlie in NC

 

[KYWinger]

Charles-
Now that we've decided to get a newer Wing, we're finding that there just aren't a lot of them for sale....
Since I do NOT want a trike, that eliminates a whole bunch of them LOL
I'll keep searching, but it appears that we'll have quite a long wait on our hands....

 

[slabghost]

Here's a nice one not too far away. Maybe Brian could look it over for you?
