New to Motobrick Intro

[turq]

I own a '93 k75s with 22,200 mi.
I looked into these bikes and not any other bike even came close to the longevity of the engine. So I looked on CraigL. Found 'my' bike and the $$(long story) waited till the treat of snow/fog was over and trailered it back to Oregon City. It was in downtown Seattle which I hadn't been thru in 40 years, whew!

My other ride is a '09 Husky 310TE
Looking forward to the adventures.

Long story;short version.   Found bike,dialed ph.#; got a muuuumph from the voice on the other end of the line after my intro, hung up. ??? I was still wanting to know about the bike so I dialed it again. Another hang up. More ?? So I looked up the ad again,right number so I moved to a different want ad site and found the bike listed but with transposed digit ph. number aha, dialed it and got the owner.
Conferred with wife. She said well if you find a way to pay for it , it's yours.
Having refinanced our mortgage 3 years ago,I figured "we" could add to the loan somehow. Off to the bank. Loan clerk hears me out and says yes, OR you could again refinance at 3.5% saving $5000 from what you now are paying on interest over the term of the loan, at no charge to you. Yes! Done, bike was free sort of.
Headed out on Amtrak to Seattle with $ got there at noon,  headed home at 2:30 to rig my trailer for pick up at a later date.
It's the electric blue.

Great story, nice grab. 

The K75s I found in Killeen TX was similar.   Long story short.   Recruit at Ft Hood was given a very low mileage bike from his weath uncle in California.    It had some rotten rubber and small details but it was a great bike.    I told him I wanted it, and would drive down from Chicago to Killeen the following weekend, if he would take it down from CL.  He did.   I scrambled to get straps, and build a nose wheel chock for the f150 asked for Thur and Fri off, and drove down to pick it up.  It was Columbia Grey with 9400miles on it.  I get down there 2pm fri.  and he was stuck in formation.  I was waiting at the gas station at the entrance and four soldiers and Pickup and K75s show up.  Title, parts, helmet, jacket, keys, bike and help.  They had broke the turnsignal so they knocked of more money.    Bike is great.  I can not wait to ride it.   
I have used www.onecraigs.com to search nationwide for good bikes and it has been great.

An aside; I found my wife's bmw 330ci on craigsL. It was listed as manual transmission. I called in hope that she might go for a good car with a stick. Turns out the guy mis-cued the trans. Square and it was an auto, zh1 steering 3 packages and M wheels. She loved it and it has been one great race car (for her).I think it had about 22k miles also. Meant to be.
