This guy is very late 80'S the rear lights are hanging on wall he bought it new in 1975 and its never sit out in sun or weather. has not run sense mid 1980's he's like 87 years old and cant hardly walk much less kick start it no wife no kids You can see the taillight behind the paint cans hes a farmer and said he removed them first day and rode on the farm and will not sell.

You ask him if he has a will?

That's a shame, but perhaps it has sentimental value or maybe if he sells it he'll feel like he's basically given up?

If you know him well enough, perhaps you could get him to give you first refusal on it.

Leave your contact info with him in case he changes his mind.
That fork brace doesn't fit the story on that original owner bike.
I can't picture a farmer adding a fork brace to ride around the farm.

Try trading WORK for it,you may be surprised.

trading work for it is a great idea! I'm sure he could use some help being 87 & all. He's probably a little lonely, maybe more conversation would soften him some. except for seat, bike looks damn good!
