Hi Tom,
Sounds like a good deal! Keep me in mind for the rear drive - the only good one I have has 8/37 gears (probably from a V700) not the 8/35 Ambos used. The pinion gears on the other four rears have big pits on the teeth or have missing teeth. Not good.
My V7 Sport/Ambo/Ambo purchase evolved into a V7 Sport/'73 BMW R75/5 deal. The owner couldn't bear to part with the Ambos and the only way he'd sell the V7 Sport was if we took the BMW with it. The BMW is in need of TLC, but has a set of Wixom bags, a larger than stock tank and some sort of weird fairing. Still $2000 for both is a steal and I hope to recover some of that by selling the BMW. Anyone interested?
We won't need facilities to store a bike after all then - last I heard from my brother he was in Oklahoma and hoped to be home here in MD by Tuesday after visiting friends in the Asheville area. I can't wait - it's like Christmas Eve when I was a kid! Cheers,
Charlie
