oh man what a day
ok so i had some photos shoots a bit south of here this morning and my client calls me and lets me know she is running late (this has a point just wait for it)
no big deal, i take out my laptop and hop on the web, i end up on craigslist and im looking for 175 parts, i find a ad for a cl175 K7 (1973) for $325 OBO in the same city im in, im thinking it sold right away or its shit, but after the first photoshoot and on my way to the next one i give the guy a call, he doesnt pick up but i leave a voice mail anyways
he calls me back we meet at his place (he doesnt try to kill me)
the bike is in ok shape, im thinking about using it as a parts bike but as im going over it the only issues i see is that it needs to be rewired and the spark plug on the right side is striped, the gas tank looks awesomely clean for the age, very little rust, it looks like it was stored in Arizona, he told me he found it when his dad and him were clearing out a barn, it was under about 2 tons of hay for god knows how long
i buy it for $285
but im thinking about tring to fix this one too, and not scraping it
im gonna get some helicoils from school
i really will get around to taking those photos of the '72
but this is the K7
yay cell phone photos
the best part maybe that i got this bike into a 2007 dodge caliber... i had to take the wheels and the handlebar off but still....
