I met this lady thru work as we will be doing some work on her house.
While I was there we went out to her garage and she had 2 bikes there,
one of them she told me was a 50 panhead and the other a 77 (didn't hear)
as I was looking at the 50. Both of them looked to be in good shape, and I
was telling her how nice they looked and I had always wanted a HD since I
was about 7-8 and saw my grandfathers old HD not sure but his was about
a 49-50 cant remember.
She turns around and told me that they were her late husbands that passed
away a year ago and said they both were for sale and she did not want
to put an add in the paper and have lots of people stop by so she has not
told anyone yet, I asked her how much and she said about 5k for the 77
and about 8k for the 50.
I only had a small amount of time that I checked them out since I was
running late but she told me to stop by anytime I wanted to check them out.
I am going back over there to take some pictures and check them out more.
She did tell me the numbers match as her late husband made sure of that
since he had a dirt bike confiscated due to numbers not matching so he
always made sure from there on out he got matching numbers.
The bikes have no fuel in them and have not been run in over a year.
What do I need to check for when checking these out?
I have been wanting an Ultra but might try and work a deal out for both
of these. I am real interested to see how stock these might be.
Any help would be great as I don't want to lose out on a good deal.
I have to call her today to see if she is back in town since she left for 1 1/2
weeks and she was due back I think today.
I started riding when I was about 7 on an old tote goat and have been riding
since so I have been on bikes for 35 + years and have alway wanted an HD,
maybe soon.
