Anyone going to Kelowna this weekend?
« on: July 23, 2013, 01:25:48 PM »
I've got a line on a bike in Kelowna.  If I wait for my calendar to open up, I won't be able to check it out until mid-August. 
$5K for rigid Shovelhead.  The price is so good I think it may be a scam.  I was hoping some one I know and trust could take a look, kick the tires (figuratively) and report back.  I am not asking anyone to actually pick it up.

Peace & Grease, Dennis

You might ask Bofud...? That's his neck of the woods.

Thought about it and then looked at the map.  It is not actually that close to his place.  It is, however, just off the highway going through town.  Here is the link to the Kijiji Ad.

I will do whatever needs to be done - always willing to help a fellow motorbiker. Will even store it if you want.

Dennis I hope it works out for you.  But I am suspicious.  The pictures of it are odd as they are just from the top.  Not your typical picture of a bike that is for sale.  Good luck.

 Agreed- that and he calls it an 1100 which is wrong. Would have 74 inches(1200c.c.) most were bored to at least 80 c.i.(1340c.c.). Price is actually about right these days with shovel heads being at their lowest value ever, especially A.M.F. versions. Bofud seems to be a pretty smart guy, His opinion will be the deciding factor. Cheers.

The follow up information isn't very forthcoming either.  Could be various explanations and I am an eternal optimist.  I am still very interested in this bike.  While the rest of the bike buying world view AMF era shovels the least desirable, I dig 'em and want one.  Especially because they're cheaper now than ever.
