Nice work. You said you always wanted one of these.

I had success finding my tires at treatland. I think the rear one was the harder one to find in that size.

Ah memories.

Thank you gentlemen... :urban:
Had one of these 10 years ago and let it go way too quickly................................ :coolcruise:
Have been sorry ever since, :cry: and went on the hunt seems like a couple years ago.
Passed on a few because I could only find janky ones.
Finally this one showed up on the local Craigs for $950... :shock:
Not sure where the lady got that price, but she was quick to accept rational thinking and
wanted it to "go to a good home"... :naughty:
The best factor is the condition overall, which is admittedly amazing, considering it did get 1,231 miles of usage in 31 years.
Dry storage apparently the salvation here... :naughty:
The bad factor is the lack of power uphill... :nervous:
It is way down from normal, but hopefully will be something simple,...like carbon or a piston ring.
It's only been one day in my hands, so no real diagnosis has started yet.
Had my hands full today with delivering the PC800 I sold as that project was getting no attention after 6 months and the $$ is better spent on a sweet Urban... :thumbwink:
Leaves me with 7 running bikes, none bigger than 125cc, and still no bike that is capable of road-trips....... :cry:

Nice score Mike ..
What have I been doing you ask ?
Well I picked up 2 Tomos Targas One had a baby seat on the back ...
I took it off then thought it looked so stupid I had to put it back on
then went to walmart and bought a baby to put in it .
Then I also got 2 gyros in Arz. that I will have to pick up in a few days they look really beat .
Again your delux express looks great ... I miss talking with you Mike ...
Your Deee Lux is Dee light Full All that chrome is hurting my eyes ... do me a favor and see if it's the same seat as a gyro ... Thanks

Fab score yo... :wink:
Baby needs a small helmet to look right, maybe swim goggles, leather jacket, tattoo...be creative and disguise just enough to give people that moment of....gasp.. :surprise: :surprise: :surprise: :surprise: :surprise: :surprise: :surprise: :surprise: :surprise: :surprise: :naughty:
I mean, it could be a "little person"... :surprise:
Can you adjust or re-drill that plastic to sit just a tad more upright too ?
It'll look better. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . :thumbwink:
The cool thing is, really, that you know I'm serious, and I know you'll do it... :urban:
I will have to check those seat-comparative dimensions for you when Mr.Sun rises anew.
[Suddenly I feel poetic] :hi:
Give you a call soon and we can have a pow-wow.
Oh, and thanx for the flowers.
Regina is the elder sister to Ruby.
Slender and dark, she's nimble and steady, light on her feet.
Unlike the younger, plumper, and ready-to-rock Ruby,.. :naughty:
Who with the slightest nudge, and twingle of her nurples,.... :shock: :shock:
Better hang on tight, she's gonna make it a hard ride... :geekdance:
