Oh hell yes Patrick!!! That thing looks like it skipped the last 35 years and just came off the line.

Are those tires 2.50? They look like what I ran on the third wheel of my hack.

That thing is all about heavy duty and built to last.

Awsome find.

Wow!

While I was busy making mods to my 74 stingray those (and Yamahas) came out and changed my perception of bikes. Stingrays instantly became obsolete.

Incredible condition down to the original S and W shock.
