I can give you 20 good stories. Just got one a couple weeks ago that way, and did send a $3000 bike that way.

Just picked up the Pinto at Greyhound, took a while, but everything worked out fine.
Too cold to check it over today.

Sounds good Wayne , I dont like to ruin the original paint on my bikes I like to keep them the way they were made . I just had a Golden Pinto given to me , just have to stop and pick it up , I already know it has high speed forks :laugh: and the chainguard is there also but missing the scrub brake :thumbsup:.

I'll lose faith in greyhound if they ever start losing passengers. I won't let one jackass's mistake ruin my image of them.

Decided to restore the Golden Pinto, should pick up the frame from the painter today.

The mechanic at the Harley shop I go to, made a new chain guard using the old one as a pattern. It will get sent out for chrome.

Just had back surgery yesterday, progress will be slow for next few weeks.

Golden Pinto is about 3/4 done, I need to send the chain guard out to chrome and get a seat cover made.

That is looking awesome Dave. Can't wait to see the bird fly.

That was the first mini I had... but it was '73, I think. I think that thing started my infatuation with 'two wheels and a motor'. Mine had the dual brake setup. I seem to remember a 3.0 Tec but that's many years ago, so could have been a 3.5.

I bought a NOS Tecumseh carb for the Golden Pinto. Trying to decide if I should paint it white, I think it should be painted, but looks good as is.

 

[Skipjaz]

Chain guard should be back from the chrome shop tomorrow, what a hassle! Don't know the price yet.

Will post pics when it is done.

Done! Chainguard is stunning
