I think that '84 in Broward might be the best pick of the ones listed (IMHO) :ahem:
I wish there were fewer flakes in the world!! :swoon: I got up this morning, went to the bank, took out a bunch of cash, and then called the guy for directions. We had agreed to meet around noon. My helmet, gloves, boots, and jacket were all ready. No answer. Tried again a little while later and got rolled to voicemail after two rings. Really?!?! If he had sold it already, you'd think he would have the decency and maturity to answer the phone and just say so. Well, the search continues. I really want to find something pretty local; I'm sure they're out there... :yes:
In the meantime, I'm going to put about 1/8 of an oil change on my Roadstar this weekend. :music:

Probably the bike was just as flaky as the owner ( unless he had a legit emergency) . Good Hunting!
Bummer 309, which bike was it?

It was a 1985 Aspencade with about 77K miles for $2100. I think it would've been a good bike, but it's not the only one out there.

That Broward bike might be a bit south of you but it's a beauty.
~O~
Seeing as how I'm looking for something to restore, and not necessarily something to drive cross country right away, I've set a semi-flexible limit of around $2000.
I do like the other bike in Broward, but it's a little more than I wanted to spend... Whenever I actually do buy one, I'll be sure to post some pics here. Hopefully, I can share the restoration process here. I know I'll need some help along the way from the members here...

Oic, if you're looking to do some restoring then that wouldn't be the bike for you. Good luck on the search, can't wait to see what get!
Since the one guy flaked out, I've found another bike about two hours away. A 1983 Interstate that looks to be in great condition and has 58K miles. I should make it up there to see it this coming week; with any luck, I'll be posting pics of my new to me Wing sometime in the near future...
an 83 is a good geared bike ...hope it turns out to be a nice bike
