Last year I had to sell my 1986 GoldWing so that I could buy a pickup to use to work at the farm I'm rebuilding. Just recently I found this really nice well cared for 1987 GoldWing with 50K on it for $3500.00. It has new tires, brakes, battery, timing belts, seat and fork seals. The owner has moved on to a rest home and wanted to part with it. The pictures do not do it justice as it has sat in storage for the last three years and is really dirty. I need to wash it off before I can polish it up.
Then on thursday I found this 1981 CX500 that didn't run for $150.00. It has been in a guys basement since 1993 and has 2942 miles on it. The tires are original and are dry rotted. I rebuilt the carbs on it yesterday. I replaced the battery and need to replace the fork seals and add a set of mirrors. The chrome is slightly pitted as it should be for a 25 year old bike. This one is a blast to ride around on. I've only been out in my well manucured fields with it and the road out to the farm. I should have cleaned the dirt off the tires before I took the pictures of it today.
