socalhodaka 105 Posted May 2, 2009 After selling my 02 DRZ and 1964 Datsun NL320 Sport Truck I was able to catch up on a couple bills. The Datsun was rare and the last time I drove it was 7 years ago and just happened to see a ad on Craigslist here in San Diego from someone looking for my truck. Ok time for new bike. Sorry for the large photos. I look forward to meeting more of you on some rides. Kelly $2500 plus this Rickman less the engine, I had already took it out and is in another bike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zenosan 2 Posted May 2, 2009 Hey, another 520 - Congrats Kelly Another Vintage sellout. It's getting lonely out here. I guess Kelley is not old enough. My friend Gawin in Page who owns a Honda dealership wants to buy my 87 XL600 for his daily rider. That's a Vintage Guy! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zenosan 2 Posted May 2, 2009 Come over to the dark side of contemporary, Zenosan. You're welcome here. Wide power bands, fantastic brakes, reliability, plush suspension awaits. I thought I already had all that. Also, being old and vertically challenged my feet can still touch the ground. Try sitting on one of my XL seats next time you see me - you will be pleasantly surprised. Chris's son tried out my 78 XL in Page and was in Cheek Heaven after his brutal ride from Mesquite. He commented that he now knows why I sit down so much when I ride. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
paulmbowers 236 Posted May 2, 2009 You would LOVE a TW200. I'm almost ready to sell my bike for one. Maybe not. I remember when my bike looked like that- same handguards, all clean and unbeaten. Didn't take me long to turbo-farkle and bash it against hard sharp surfaces repeatedly. How about a close-up of the blinkers?- They look very nice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
socalhodaka 105 Posted May 2, 2009 I will always have vintage in my blood. My collection is starting to pay off when I need it, I more then doubled my money on that Rickman and will still sell the guy the proper motor that goes in that bike when he is ready for it. No need to keep this one that I used in trade When I still have this one. You can see the top of the old Datsun back on the left. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

socalhodaka 105 Posted May 2, 2009 Hey Brent, thanks for answering some of my questions about the KTM's a couple weeks ago. I know you would of like to see me on a new 08 and that would of been awesome and I was close to dropping the hammer on one, then the fact I was able to utilize my bait for trade helped out. I can't wait to ride it up to your shop and say hello. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dirt dame 561 Posted May 3, 2009 Beautiful Rickman. I had a chance to buy a Rickman Zundapp all in one piece for 50 bucks years ago. I wish that I had. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beezzz 6 Posted May 3, 2009 Gee that 520 KTM bike looks familiar. I sense a 520 club developing and a 520 ride upcoming. Beezzz (new '02 520 member) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
