I bought that bike 2 weeks ago, a steal at $1300!

| Just be patient until the one that talks to you comes along. I looked for 8 months till I finally found one that was close to what I was looking for and for such a good price that it made the search worthwhile. An original '70 civilian Ambo, white with the red/black pinstripe, new clutch, rear seal, u-joint, and tires, with 45k on it in very good condition for $2,800. This was in Ca where everything cost more. It also came with a Windjammer fairing (for sale), the matching (white and pinstriped) Wixam bags and top case, extra cables and belts, parts and service manuals, and an extra 4-speed transmission. There is a '71 Police Ambo in Cycle Trader right now that looks good for $1900. Ignore this guy.

Well, I called the guy and he told me I had my chance and now it's up to $3800 - what he paid for it when it was running and hadn't sat - stored wet, no less - in a shed for two years! I politely told him I couldn't do that and he told me I wasted his time making him show the bike last sunday and he hung up on me! So, I guess it wasn't the bike for me. Thanks for all the advice gang! Going to look at an ambo this weekend. Wish me luck! ___________________________________________________________ T O P I C A The Email You Want.http://www.topica.com/t/16 Newsletters, Tips and Discussions on Your Favorite Topics |
