Ed, can I call you. my phone is 425 361 5156. I mislead you about storage. It was in storage fm 93 to 2003. It has been operating since then. I tend to agree that the price is high. But overall was that a good year for a bike. Assuming it is a good bike,,assuming,, and all is in good shape. Would it be worth buying at say...1000 or less. Or will I just start to see 25 plus year problems time after time. I am new to the bike world. Thanks for your email
