Ron, I was reading about this place. They bought a closed mill up there on 11 acres with 10 buildings, 150,000 sf of space. They will have the largest antique motorcycle museum in the world when complete. Ultimately end up as a motorcycle destination resort. This bike was going to be restored but they're 4 months behind on starting restorations, so they're liquidating some bikes they may never get to. I think the museum is partially open, I'll know tomorrow.

What's wrong with the blue besides being faded?

Yep.....it will be kept stock, except for the tank if I decided to buy another one. I'll keep the original stuff for when I sell it.

There's a dent in the tank,but those dent removal guys will have no trouble with that. The fading just drives me nuts. But, I haven't seen it in person. Might get another tank and paint it blue without the striping. You can pick up used tanks pretty cheap. They only came in two colors in 76, blue and brownish bronze.
