...so is that vaguely or shortly?...

It was not short.  It was vague ...from the stories I (still!) hear.

I have very few pictures...and fewer memories... but,  I have a feeling I would want to go back there first (on a list of Euro countries)

That SS is not is the best of shape the plastics are pretty dinged up and there are a few areas of rust on the frame on the left side. The clutch has been replaced and the carbs rebuilt as well. More info after sushi

stock clutch?

you could always do sharkskins!   waytogo  or maybe sand/repaint the plastics.... and tapeworks sells the stickersets.  you could do a black/gold edition SS...!  that would be freaking badass...

The price is pretty close, but the work and money I'll have to put into it is kind of sketchy. It'll need a valve adjustment right off the bat, probably a new chain/sprockets, clutch side switches, and slave cylinder. The forks/shock are in decent shape, but are probably due for a rebuild. The plastics look ok from afar but up close look so-so. I told the owner I'd mull it over a day or two.

The clutch pack is new. It has less that 600 miles on it.  I'm going to see how much aftermarket skins would cost. And btw the tire on it is a 180 instead of the 170. The stock brembo wheels leave you wanting the marchenisis. It does have the FBF pipes on it and it sound good. There also some odd discoloration in the motor fins

So, not great but not horrible. Sounds like you're taking your time.

well, you know i'm always up for helping with any wrench-turning man...i have both stands and even some tools!  and i may actually be changing out my sprockets and/or chain soon....it's got a 42 in the rear (i think it's new) and stock is 37...i might go back to something a little closer to stock.  and i think that black repaint is a sweet option...not sure how much the paint/clearcoat would cost...the entire decal set from tapeworks is $160.

whatever you get man i'm always up for turning wrenches.   waytogo

The black and gold SS would look badass.  Especially if I went the Öhlins route down the road. For the price I think its a decent buy, but it'll take some work to get her back to her former glory
