I was just wonderin out here lost in the middle of nowhere, just what you city slickers would consider to be "near Cheyenne, Wyoming".... cause chances are that the only living thing that close would be an Antelope.
On the other hand, backwards and lost as we all are, we consider ourselves neighbors and some of us even have trucks and motorcycle trailers if honest straight up biker citizens of the world need assistance and ask. Actually Denver, CO is closer???
Best, Blue

| I wish I had $850 to spare I would run right over there with my trailer. I really should start saving up. I see these deals to often. I really like the middle no where. I was just there and want to go back.

E mail sent. Thanks for the heads up Scotts. I don't live in the middle of nowhere but I can see it from here. My nephew does happen to live in the middle of nowhere. He also happens to have his dads trailer there and needs to return it. If this guy has a title and he can give me some more details and pictures it might be difficult to pass up. I have been looking for a good one to restore. I was going to restore the 75 I currently have in pieces in the garage but I think it needs too much so I might do another custom rebuild with that one.

If I could figure out a way to make my wife think it was a good idea, I'd load up my 17 yr old son and borrow my neighbors trailer and go for a road trip.

Hey Great Basin 650 riders.....If Cheyenne and Brigham City are near the "middle of nowhere" then so are Blackfoot, ID and most places in South Dakota. Pumps.....I guess you live near somewhere. Congrats.
Best, Blue

B3 I agree most places in South Dakota are in the middle of nowhere. Get out around Buffalo Gap and you are in the middle of nowhere. When riding out there top off the tank every chance you get and have some back up. And if it is Sunday don't even think about finding a station open.

Well I missed out. It has already been sold.
Now I wish somebody would buy this bike. I keep checking it out and getting more and more tempted.

Pumps, That is what I was thinking. She actually said we should get a scooter for our 15 year old son to ride back and forth to work, about 2 miles. With this bike though he would need to get a MC license. That is ok it wouldn't hurt to have him go through the rider safety course any way.
Georelle.

My 17 yr old son would like it. For $250 it would be a great learner. Even if you have to put a couple hundred into it. How complicated could that little bugger be? I'll bet xsjohn has worked on those. Much more rugged and cooler than a scooter. It'll go a lot more places. Get it looking like this one.
