Not mine. Don't know the person, just saw the ad.

Nice bike for someone nearby.

I already have my hot-rodded S2T - wish this were bone stock. At least, that's my current thinking on S2's.

Asking 2500 for that? No wonder why they are prime targets for chopping. Unfortunately I already have 2 S2s and my wife has clamped down on these sort of purchases.

It looks nice, but don't call me--I've already got one S2 in pieces. I'm trying to get it all back together in time for Loren's get-together in Arkansas next year. Frame is at the powdercoater as I type, motor is back from the shop with new cases, cams, lifters, pinion shaft, valves, guides, etc. I'm so upside-down on this bike, I'll probably own it forever.

I'll probably own it forever.

That's my plan with my S2!

Just sayin', there's much worse things to be *stuck* with fer life...

True enough,Brankin...

I've got an issue, though. I've got some fairly serious arthritis in one wrist, and the angle of the bars doesn't work for me for more than an hour or so. There's basically no angular adjustment. I've tried the high and low bars with the same result. I've got an extra inch of width tacked on in an effort to extend my range, but last time I rode it (about a year ago, when I blew up FMJ's motor), it was still a 60-minute motorcycle.

Same bike I believe advertised in the classified section here last week for $2000!

If I had the cash I would buy that bike for a friend of mine.

RT, us old guys really do have to figure this one out. I've started noticing crap like that too.
Getting old sucks...

Yeah, it sucks alright, but it beats the alternative!

At least I still have the Road King...
