The Nighthawk is GONE. *snif* I'm gonna miss it.
Rode the VStar home. Oh what luxury!

I do an electronic transfer from my bank account. But I'm not linking the accounts. I tell my bank to transfer $XX to my PP account. PP never sees my bank account. They don't care where your money comes from as long as you maintain a balance with them.
And my PP is a business account also. So I also use it for incoming money from the net.

Yep. I hear you.
Got an offer on the Nighthawk today. He's paying what I'm asking. The deal hasn't gone thru just yet. I'm going to meet him on Thursday and as long as he's happy, I'll be walking to the bus stop and headed to pick up the V Star.

Horace,

Some here know the history of this bike. It was offered to me for next to nothing. When I went to check it out, it did not run until I played with it for about 30 mins. Once I got it running, it sounded good, so I bought it. The sign forgot to say 'assembly required.'
I put it all back together and discovered some issues. So I had a good friend of mine do a top end rebuild for me. changed plugs, wires, rear sprocket, throttle cables, air filter, head cover gasket and compression bolts.
Then I got it home and did an engine flush with a couple of quick oil changes.

Since then, I've put over 10k miles on it. I added the fairing and backrest and the difference they make is incredible. I haven't eaten a rock or bug since.

This bike runs like a raped ape. Smooth, fast and reliable. I REALLY hate to let it go, but, at my age, I need the far greater comfort of the V Star.

I'm adding a bit of salt to this post just for Cyborg, since he 's still mad at me for stealing this bike.

In my world, you have to survive a bullet wound to run for office, and it has to be IN COMBAT.
The lilly livered cowards that run the country now... Don't get me started...

Yeah, I'd grab that one too. Either that or get a high torque hobby motor and make your own. Or even mod it with a cable. Sort of like a lawnmower throttle with the slide. Then you could stop it at any angle. LOL

I have to let the Nighthawk go.
If I had a place to keep it, I wouldn't let it go, but I have very limited room and even more limited parking, so it has to go.
It's spot will be taken by a '09 V Star 1100 Custom that I'm getting for under 2k.

I know how much Pete is jealous so I thought I'd offer it here first.

3k takes it.  If you're mainland, you pay shipping and I'll take half the shipping cost off.
Shipping is around $600.
If you make me a good offer, I'll go under 3k.

If you want pix, check my fb.
On second thought, I'd better add some here.....

Comes with the fairing and passenger backrest.













AND THIS IS WHAT'S REPLACING IT:
