70 Bump

I was thinking about trading this guy one of my bikes for his Bump. My 02 1100 Aero is worth 4k so I thought this would be a good trade.

The wife looked at the 70 and said ho-hum, no wow factor like a Slick.

What say you?

want to trade for nice motorcycle ?

My Honda is a nice ride. I have two of them along with a Street Glide, 2 65 Mustangs and the F100. Ive got the Hondas for sale but the market is a little soft in December, so I thought a trade for a bump would be cool.

Those are both nice bikes, I have owned both metric and American bikes and love all kinds. Guess the question should be are you ready to give up one toy for a chance to enjoy a different one?

My vote too!

Or better yet... You obviously like all sorts of toys so why not shed both Hondas, one Mustang, do those repairs and upgrades or whatever the remaining Fords require then buy an old CJ for your next project?
(easy solution for me since I love Harleys, Slicks and CJs and I have no dog in your hunt, lol)

All good ideas if I can sell some of the current toys. The economy around here flat sucks and has for a long time.

I have owned many CJs, love them but don't know if I want to get involved again.

I had a 75 CJ5 with a 354 hemi. I think it put out about 250 hp, not a power monster but did have a bunch of wow factor.

My last CJ5 was a 77/304/3spd that I sprung over. They really don't need that much power! lol
