Default Maybe picking up another 93

I found an ad that popped up over the weekend for a 93 a few towns over, the photos look great and my wife is going to drive out tomorrow to take a look at it and hopefully buy it. We have a friend that will store it for a few days until one of us is kid free to ride it back the 120miles or so.

Good luck with it.
If it were me, I'd take a trailer and have it home right away !

Put up some pics when she's home.

My wife is in Tulsa right now to get it, borrowed a pick up. Its going to be a long night at work waiting to get home and take it for a spin. Hopefully I will have pics of the bikes side by side in a few hours.

We got it! Not in as good of shape as we where led to believe. The cooling fan is hard wired to a switch. No big deal I will rewire in off season but it doesn't want to start easy. Started and rode fine, then he let the batt drain. We got it home charged it. Starter spins it's getting fuel but not starting. Adjusted choke but haven't really done any trouble shooting, been at work.

Maybe clean or throw a nice new set of plugs in it

Congrat's again
