That is sad. And that price is a bit disconnected from reality.

Must have been one heck of a rough 38 miles!

I would love to restore one of these but not at that price, more like $1000 tops for that poor old thing, and only if it had a title.

On a positive note - which would preclude me from commenting on price or miles... too late - looking at the mirror and the racks, I'd love to have seen this in its touring hey-day.

Does it rain where that is?

If I parked a 1974 bike  "..... in a field for all of its life......" over here for 40 plus years it would have reverted to the various metallic ores it was created from in the 1st place!
