It has arrived.....man, the seat thats on this isn't it the best of condition....but the one I was watching on eBay went for twice what I paid for this whole bike. cant wait to get this bad camel back polished and put together to go get beer on!!!!!!! I'll laugh in the face of winter!!!!! :|

My night of bikes has almost been to much to handle. :shock:

If you haven't guessed, I like them ratty but original!!!!!!!
