I would think you should have put this problem of a bike that you want to sell under the for sale or wanted forum where most people would be looking for a bike to buy? Herm

DEAR CWF,
I have to agree with the others on this wonderful "dark side of the moon" incorrect forum listing. I do appreciate the fact you listed the zip code so I will be sure not to drink the water on my next visit to the area.
In reality, I think you should go to ebay because of the discomfort that would be dealt from setting on the bike for 20 years.
PS: I hope I'm not wasting your time.

anyone know where his previous post was/ i was curious if he is improving his sales abilities.
I own a JP, it is a piece of history, but I look like a middle age man on it.
I would just like to offer that this is not representative of all of us in Arizona. I have personally lost thousands of $ on vintage bikes and am currently doing it again.
Now doesn't this bike make the $2500 original 73 Piner sound like a great deal? James
I have bike parts in the kitchen cabinets where most people have dishes..
James,
You are still my hero for your ability to hide parts so no can steal them[:o)].
Bil,
I have taught selling and other classes dealing with the public for ove 25 years,but I think this one post is the best example of telling me everything I never wanted to know about a 175 Penton. Not to mention the history of why this person is in such a good mood or why it is a lot of fun to own a SCORE Class 8 Truck.
Oh well I will go back to developing a expantion chamber for my Honda Gyro. [:p]
