Thanks for that ad ! I paid $5400.00 for mine. My friends thought I was insane given I paid the same for my '80 Turbo T/A. 37 years later - whose laughing now ! The T/A is probably in the form of Knives and Forks in one of your kitchen drawers.

I think I paid about $3k CDN out the door for mine back in 79.

I paid $5339 AUD, all my mates said much the same thing and if someone offered me a bit more than that now they would be the proud owner as unfortunately I cant ride anymore and am barely able to work on them.

Sorry to hear that you can't enjoy your bikes anymore, Rick. Hoping you will still keep in touch with the folk on this forum.
Best wishes.
