GHG -- that's a wonderful story! Between Bilgemaster and you we have some Campfire Talk masters in this forum.
I took a quick look at eBay (over-priced), Cycle Trader (some good choices at $3,800 with an OBO or two), and David Blasco's site. There's a CL 2017 BRG (I'm partial to that color, Red and Yellow are LE bait and Black is for the 500s) 593 miles $4,200 OBO for wedding expenses in Milan, MI that I'm sure would go for 10% less minimum. I agree with getting him a Continental -- I would have but I don't bend that way anymore. Please make sure he's ATGATT. And post pictures.
Oh .. I'm with ya Bert . You must mean IRISH racing green !?
And I agree the red and yellow don't work for me . Too... I don't know ? Ronald MacDonald marketing type colors ? But hey ... it ain't gonna be MY bike, and people have different tastes. Especially the young. And they seem to be all about the gear, which IS good ! Two of my sons that ride... yes both this year.... wear ALL that stuff. EXCEPT ! .. I gotta break them of that bad habit of wearing SHORTS in the Summer when on the bike!
Wait... your wearing a full face helmet ? Padded mesh jacket ? Star wars , hard knuckle .. knuckle dragging cloves ? And your wearing SHORTS !?
Thanks for the heads up and reminder about those sites . Looks like I will be hooking up the trailer and taking a long ride this weekend to pick up a IRG colored bike ... with a checkerboard down the middle ?... of the tank?.... that looks curiously like MY bike ?!
Proud of that boy !! I... was NO influence what so ever in his choice mind you !
