I.m going to be clearing out a bunch of parts and a couple bikes up on the garage sale board. Since I really dont want to mess with shipping, anything listed will be available to the tsmr faithfull for a reasonable offer, delivered to the campground or motel in May.

But what do you need?

If it has chrome on it, I'm interested!

Got a good front fender {with the base decals from the first owners time in the Navy!}
Rest of the chromed stuff is rough

Not in a huge rush, just keeping my eyes open!

What an idea! We really should set up tables at the campground. I really missed shopping at Barber last year.

I’m not trying to thread steal but if someone commits to purchasing something from Richrd and then finds out they can’t make the event. I can store it for you here in NC and we’ll work out how to get it to you.....I’m okay with the shipping thing.

It does sound like a good idea and will be a nice add.

I would get Richrd ( he knows the innkeepers) to ask Melissa if it would be okay to set up a tables at the motel ( if you’re so inclined). Blowing Rock has some strange rules about stuff like that so checking first would be a good idea.

Out where Windy lives ( owns and operates Switchback Creek Campground) there are no rules. That’s why he can shoot off 50cal tracers at night for entertainment! clap laughing

Probably NOT the dark side you're thinking about my friend. But I have owned and loved one.

Think 1967.........and my bad taste in motorcycles.

I was hoping Anthony (Decide and Ride) from Revzilla would have a video but alas he does not.

Nothing wrong with a car tire on a K1600.
It is a car with two wheels missing.

I have quite a few parts which are useless to me. Mostly Triumph but some BSA.
Let me know what you need and I'll bring them.
What the heck, most of them are small parts, I'll bring what I got.
