And don't let the sun go down on your black ass either--it might fade the paint.

Useless picture, can't see anything, and priced not to sell--maybe that was his real intent...

+1,  also it has the rare BMW-installed driveshaft differential!  Wish my Ural had one of those.

I wouldn't say that's a great price for a K75. But if it does have a brand new OEM driveshaft, that's a +$350 value right there just for the part.

If it's in your price range, you can always ask for more pics.

Do other folks do that "but I'm trying to sell it", too? Just this weekend I was compelled to prove I really am trying to sell ONE but throwing out a CL ad for my '96 R1100GS. Every acquisition requires a tap-dance over "and which one are you gonna sell?".

Honourable Minister for Finance and Recreations answer to getting another bike has always been you can only ride one at a time. I have yet to come up with a logical answer as to why I need more than the two I have. :dunno :musicboohoo:

Does she own more than two pairs of shoes?  More than two purses?

She can only wear/use one at a time...

But when you ask that be prepared to duck  :2thumbup:
