This bike, this work of mechanical art, a bike that's almost organic in the absolute love that you'll come to have for it. I actually named it Shangri La, from a Led Zepelin lyric. I live in SW Pennsylvania; Shangri La. has provided me with many adventures in the mountains. I even took a trip or two to Flight 93 Memorial and Gettysburg. The longest ride that I took her on was to Bowling Green, Ky. The ride there was unbelievably comfortable. My route is usually going from Cincinatti to Louisville, on down to Bowling Green. That one time, I decided to go through Lexington, Ky. for some sightseeing. This took me a good way out of the way, by the time I turned my forks back towards my true destination, the sun was beginning to get low. Shangri La gave me enough power with her 111 Thunderstroke engine, that I reached my destination before dark. All through my trip, any trip actually, I get tons of compliments on her. Many people think it's an antique bike, due to the new corporate owners of the Indian Name, Polaris, modeling the Indian Vintage from the 1948 year, just with 21st century technology. I am selling her with a tremendous amount of sadness and reluctance due to my second bike wreck where I went down hard. I'm 65 years old now and beginning to feel my mortality. Shangri La, because she in being my dream bike of all time, btw the bike I went down on was a Sportster 1200. Any who, I did annual preventative maintenance on her, she has been garage kept. This bike will give you a status of at least one cut above. I can't really add much more, except to say I love her, and you will to. The only wear that you will see, is understandably the seat, from me riding her. I would include a statement of being negotiable, but the asking price is already what Cycle Trader states as typical asking price. If I were to negotiate, and that is a big if, I may consider some but remember, you are getting a very good deal...
