This is the '86 that will get a makeover this summer.......you may notice that there is one obvious part missing.......I would likely purchase a repop if offered.......ya think there's any chance of Dan doing some more??...... :rock:.............beep-beep.......... :urban:

Well it's a funny story .... I saw it and knew it was close to Dan & Jasons so I tried to call them ...
Well didn't get a hold of Dan until almost 5 ... Turns out it was one he sold . Hey Mike if I saw one in Nashville I would have been calling you .
I figured garage sale ... OK will you take $50.00 ???
Dan said the seller got $850.00 or something like that . Me I would have gone for the Blender . Notice No Photos of me with a blender . Goofy question ? Hows my windshield for a Elite 80 doing ?
1 more question would you like to trade it for a Elite 80 engine complete W/O carb ?
Also when was the last time you saw a Average Gyro ? I rest my case .... your witness.

I was trying to establish a condition of this bike for reference to market value of Gyro...with several around, we need to keep up on the market......MY FRIEND'S windshield is doing a fine job of keeping the 55 degree air from blasting my chest with blizzard-like force......and if she ever thinks it needs to come off, I'm thinkin' it wont go far......tuff sh**.......last time I saw an "average" gyro was last time I was in my garage.....they're all average.......It's gyro owners that are'nt so ordinary.........would you like to cross-examine, counselor ?............66Sicks :arrow: :crazy: ..............me on 6's Aero :arrow: :arrow: :arrow: ........ :coolcruise:

dans been sneaking in the garage when i go to work cause i work midnights, when i came home in the morning i started moving the bikes around and his bike was still covered up. i heard a crash and his bike fell over. i noticed that the rear wheels and back end is off and it was sitting on crates. i put everything back together and didnt say anything. i know he will be by in the next couple days cause he goin to the lake over the weekend. he said he wants to get it done before he leaves. he has tools all over the place and all kinds of stuff. i dont know man...looks like another top secret thing goin on. hope he dont throw me out of the garage. guess ill get my army gear and spy gear ready. keep u all posted... :shock:
