Got a HD calendar a few years back and it shows the work force, I wouldn't doubt it happening, or a new hire maybe.

Does it look like the motor has been removed?
If it has, I might suspect the owner, DIYer's can be their own worse enemy sometimes.

Too bad to hear about the crash, hope you recover quickly Larry.

Might hit 60 today, still getting boat ready for Monday, but hoping to do a bit of Kubbing this afternoon.

Looking at helmets, the half helmet I have isn't working out and now thinking of a 3/4 one, anybody happen to use this one?

Wife just got her spring tune up/go over, battery has a dead cell so they replaced that too, about $570 later she's happy again, which means I'm broker, but happy too.

Used to get dragged off to the garden center, I finally figured out if I overloaded her with stuff to plant and maintain, she would keep me home, works for me.

Have a great weekend all, and be safe.

Why does this one look like it was ran till it died and stuck in the barn till he could make a project out of it, then decided it wasn't worth it?

Tim, do you have some services you could trade for massages? She wants to get in shape and I figure you could follow her down dirt roads in your new to you Bronco as she runs her fat away.

I got into a similar issue when I was looking at a Fatboy for a friend who lives out of state. Oddly enough, it had also come from a KIA dealer before the guy who had it got it.


What they might be willing to do, is contact the original owner on your behalf and leave it up to him as to whether or not he wants to talk to you about it.

Al, I have that helmet. Comfortable and cool. A little noisy and the reverb from my exhaust up into the face shield got annoying so I picked up an HJC modular.
