A challenge

So yesterday Gus posts on our mailing list about a Yamaha Seca 650 motorcycle that a co-worker is giving away.

It doesn’t run (needs carb work, don’t they all?) and has no title.

So I think nothing of it.

Then when I get home I remember that someone else had posted about a sidecar that they saw for sale for $400.

Hmmm. All of a sudden I get a really stupid idea. Free motorcycle + $400 sidecar + elbow grease + beer = a sidecar rig for under $1000.

So I called Gus and the bike will be delivered to my house this weekend. Wow, what a nice, enabling friend Gus is. 🙂

Now the only hitch (well, okay, maybe not the ONLY hitch, I guess it’s the next hitch) is that someone else on the list wants to look at that sidecar. Hope that they decide they don’t want it.

Like I really need another project.
