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...
Had one of these 10 years ago and let it go way too quickly................................
Have been sorry ever since, 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...
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"...
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...
The bad factor is the lack of power uphill...
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...
Leaves me with 7 running bikes, none bigger than 125cc, and still no bike that is capable of road-trips.......

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...
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..
I mean, it could be a "little person"...
Can you adjust or re-drill that plastic to sit just a tad more upright too ?
It'll look better. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
The cool thing is, really, that you know I'm serious, and I know you'll do it...
I will have to check those seat-comparative dimensions for you when Mr.Sun rises anew.
[Suddenly I feel poetic]
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,..
Who with the slightest nudge, and twingle of her nurples,....
Better hang on tight, she's gonna make it a hard ride...
