I wish I could tell you more about the bike (I've taken to calling it Christine) but the PO has apparently killed himself.

Like I said before though, there is a new fuel pump, 2 36mm Dellortos carbs with cone filters, lights all work, we got it into neutral last night and pushed it into a corner because the battery is flat, the rh side mirror is broken but the front fairing is ok, the side fairings are safe in my house, few stress cracks but nothing major around some of the fastener holes, it has, according to the gauges, 11 or 12k miles and there is plenty of oil in it. Umm... rear brake will need to be removed and the hanger replaced, rear brake pedal is a mess.

I don't think it would take much to make it a very nice bike, I'm just over it.

Good on you, Jon! This could be a good buy.

Dana and I have made a deal that gets the bike out of his garage. I'm happy to fix it and put it into rotation for riding. Much better than havcing it parted out! I do understand Dana's pain.

I'll be going to Indy for the MOtoGP race and will find someone to trail it back to NY.

I need some parts tho. Brake set up and a mirror I guess.

Aye, aye Cap'n! Well done! The beginning of a happy ending to a sad story, hopefully. Good luck!

Jon, I really think you got yourself a nice and special bike

G.

It'll be nice to give her to a home that will appreciate the bike, one way or another. Jon, I just sent you an email, pls read and call me tonight if possible.

I know there have been a few different people interested in my Paso. There is another one fairly close to me on Ebay Item number: 190245854257 Hey, Dayton, Ohio is just a short hop on I-70 east from here.

I know it isn't red or quite as cheap, but it looks like the work it might need could be minimal.

I've only got one bike, and a deposit has been made. So there you are.
