Best wishes for a successful sale.  I have followed your project with interest since the start and enjoyed your progress with this bike.

Hope you enjoy Colorado.  I have found it to be a great place for riding.  Where are you moving to?

Just had the bike out early this morning.  Rode down Lakeshore drive as the sun was coming up over Lake Michigan, looped through the railyards and south side of Chicago before heading home.  Wish I had gotten some more shots, but my friends at BNSF chased me out.

And price lowered to $3,000 due to competition of other bikes on the market.

The bike is sold.  Going to a first time rider looking for something to cruise around Chicago in, so he's not putting miles on his 335i.

Hi friends, it's been awhile.  Life without a bike is...well not very exciting to be honest.  Now that I've relocated to Denver, I'm back on the hunt for a new project.  Not sure if I will go the flying brick route again, but I am really missing my old bike so it's a definite possibility.  If any of you are ever in the Mile High City, please send me a message and let's meet up for a beer.

Super old, dead thread. Make sure you if you get a bike in CO you get up into the mountains. Stay off the interstate. Nothing better than twisting your way up a canyon and stopping for a beer and live music at Little Bear before coming back down. Good way to get out of the summer heat in Denver.
