For Sale, My Baby
For Sale:
One (1) Harley-Davidson 2001 XLH883C Sportster Custom in Rich Red.
$5995 and zero pennies.
Low miles, premium leather saddlebags, Screamin' Eagle air cleaner and exhaust, jetted carb, touch of extra chrome.
Why? Because either I sell it fast, or I'm trading it in. I'm not a two-timing sonofabitch, and I've fallen in love with this girl:
The only question left is: Black Cherry Pearl or Two-tone Glacier White Pearl and Vivid Black? The Black Cherry is oh-so-nice, a cavern except where the light hits it, like a bing cherry, picked and sitting in the fruit bowl for a week. But the two-tone just screams Retro like the rest of the bike, pairing lovingly with those fat whitewalls. Hey James, where's that picture you took of me on the Lave Red Sunglo version?
I vote for the two-tone. Alternatively, you could pick up a 1999 Laverda 750S Careneta for about 5 bills, which I would be happy to pick up for you when I go to Texas next weekend. :)
