This sweetheart is only $900. A classic from 1984. So damn tempting.

Some of the best stories spring from “bad” ideas.

I swear it’s missing something though.

That’s how I wound up on 3 wheelers!

Love the user name. The C64 was “my” first Computer. My Dad actually fought for it at a local shop back in the 80s..

I saw a guy sport touring one of those last summer and it’s made me lust after one ever since.

I have the strangest lust for these. I cant quite tell from the picture, is it a 500 or 750? Regardless, if I could fit another bike in my garage I’d be all over this for $900.

So 80's and so beautiful... If it runs and you don’t mind a little wrenching on an older bike, might be a fun summer toy!

I need to find an option like this in my area...

That’s NOT a bad idea! As long as it’s in good running order.

Same here! My parents had a Mattel Aquarius computer back in the ‘80s, then my uncle gave my Dad an old C64 (this was in ‘91-’92ish) which was passed to me when he was given a C128D. Then began a whole slew of computers after that.

I think the best “bad” idea I’ve had involved this:

It transformed into this:

The “bad” part about it was parting ways with her.

My latest “bad” idea was bought in August of 2014, and started like this:

And has turned into this:

I’m not done with her yet, she’s a work in progress (Even her name is “W.I.P.” which stands for “Work In Progress”).

I’m all for “bad” ideas!

Get it. Keep it a time capsule.

That guy never replied. I want one of those even more now. Or a Hurricane.
