Got a box in the mail today.... What is in the mystery box?

That box says: At Any Price!

That box says: At Any Price!   

Not quite. It was "Buy it Now" and "Make Offer". They took my offer but still over $250 to get it here.
I feel like Al Bundy on that episode of Married with Children where he needed a rare ash tray to finish restoring an old Mustang. Now I have NEW speedometer and tachometer. One from Greece, the other from Germany. I couldn't have a faded tach next to a new speedometer. Odometer started out with 0.7 kmon it so really it does show true mileage since the bike was built. Pretty cool!

2 weeks until the Progressive International Motorcycle Show!

Al:   [waving a note] Great news! I got an original ashtray for the car.

Steve:   [excitedly] An ashtray?

Al:   Yeah. We gotta go right now, though, 'cause he's got another offer.

Marcy:   Forget it!

Peg:   That's right. We're going to dinner.

Al:   The restaurant will hold our reservations because, after all, it's your birthday and I'm
        a doctor. Come on girls, we're going to the ghetto!

Al and Steve lead their wives outside.

ACT TWO

SCENE ONE

Al and Steve come in. Al is holding a red ashtray.

Al:   It's beautiful. Look at it, Steve. It's a virgin.



Steve bends down to have a closer look.

Al:   There has never been a cigarette in that ashtray.

Peg comes in and puts her cigarette in the ashtray.

you've went OCD on huhsky. but my friend, id do the EXACT same thing. that bike is perfect. have you considered a purple chain or whit or something in the school colours?

[adidasguy]

Chain is gold - school colors.
Purple would be too much purple and the contract of the gold chain is nice.
James (jmill), a UW student, came over and LOVES IT! He nearly peed his pants when he saw it in person.

I just put some photos of it on the Husky Motorcycle Club group. I'm curious to see people's reaction

I ride him a lot. Not on wet days.
Though I keep thinking HUHSKY is a girl as I often say "She".

PS: I guess HUHSKY is a girl. It just seems right to say "she". Junior and Phenix are boys. Suzi is a girl.

[radodrill]

Most bikes and cars are girls You've got to spend time and money on them to keep them happy.

[cc2]

Hey all!  Was thinking about you all, and wanted to see how the Husky bike was coming.  Looks awesome!  Good luck with the upcoming show.

for my sanity I keep waiting and hoping for Patrick to log in ....

[Gorilla]

the worst part is that this bike is going up for an estate sale. Who knows whom will get it and at what price. Mostly I hope they don't drop the bike the 1st week they get it. It starts up SO SMOOTH like no other GS in the cave.

[Bluesmudge]

Do you know this for a fact? Any info about the estate sale?

[Gorilla]

Mike, patricks brother, said the bikes and the house are the first to be sold in the estate sale.

[Badot]

Pardon my ignorance since I don't really have experience with how that stuff works, I'm just curious why all his stuff is getting sold -- he had so much cool stuff that he cared so much about it just seems wrong to me to sell it off like that.
