Nice Bike! What low miles too! My friend's dad had the exact bike when I was growing up and I remember riding on it with him. I have an '07 RWB Interceptor, so it's cool to see one of the originals in such good shape.

Don't EVER sell it! That is perfect. Mine is an '07 RWB. I dream of picking up a bike like that in the future.

Beautiful bike. You don't see many of the vintage bikes in that kind of shape. I've got an '86 500 and an '86 750 in the same condition. Keep up the good work.

Image if you will....

I would pay good money to see video on YouTube of Eddie playing "She'll be comin' round the mountain" on his band-joe as he was standing, straddling the seats of both his VFR's Gunther Gebel-Williams style going down the Dragon followed by TN's finest.

He's right proud of those two horses

(note the RWB theme of the commemorative poster below. A similar poster would provided to the films producer from the nozzleJet printer)

If I had a video camera, no problem. Maybe I can put a picture together. In the meantime, will this do?

Thanks for the compliments guys. I'm a very happy camper today. I decided to try and replace my monoshock on the bike. (see thread in this forum). I had never done that type of repair before. Thanks to Jamie Daughtery's help I was able to get it done in less than 2 hours. I bought a slightly used shock off of Ebay and that fixed the problem.

Is that radiator a true braided steel hose or just a cover.

And where did you get it?

It's a true braided hose. It was on the bike when I bought it.

The front forks and wheels are worth more than $400.00!
