Keep it Original says the man with a wooden leg ----- ORIGINAL MESSAGE FOLLOWS ----- Leave it like it is in my opinion. Like Dave said, original bikes are hard to find and it seems these were prone to being butchered by the kids they were being marketed to. It's a beautiful bike as it is, lots of character. Ride it on up 25! I'm just north of Denver, we have our AMCA meeting next Saturday and riding to an antique airplane meet ----- ORIGINAL MESSAGE FOLLOWS ----- I had planned on tearing it down and painting it. The frame particularly could use it. After having a number of older Harley guys ooh and ah over it though and tell me leave it alone, i'm unsure what to do? What's your opinion? Thanks for your response. Oren. ----- ORIGINAL MESSAGE FOLLOWS ----- Oren, Your Pacer looks like it's all original. Nice original - and good running - bikes are getting harder to find every day. Dave ----- ORIGINAL MESSAGE FOLLOWS ----- I drove 1550 miles to Louisville Kentucky from Cortez Colo for this sweet little survivor, showing 1180 miles. The owner Dudley Bottoms is a really straight up man and it is just as he described, and a really sweet runner. My last hummer was a 49 in 1959, and very slow by comparison. I've had lots of Harleys in between, but have already enjoyed this one more than all the tweeners combined. |
