While talking bikes with a couple of new local customers the subject of vintage bikes comes up, then racing, then Ducati...then I hear. Jeez, I've got this old Ducati 350 single that's been in my barn for years. I just want to get rid of it. He tells me how dirty and old it is...mentions the alloy rims are still nice. I say, hey, I'm used to that, I've dug lots of old messed up bikes out of barns...maybe I'll take off your hands...here's my phone number. Give me a call if you want to get rid of it.
On the way out he mentions again, I'll probably give you a call about the bike. I'm like no problem, I've got no projects this winter.
Wonder what it is. He's a relative of an employee so I can get in touch if I have to. Don't want to seem too eager though.

i had a customer in the pizza joint i work in part time offer me this "crappy old honda" that had been in his garage for 15 years taking up space. i went over there a few days ago and got a nice, complete 76' cb450. it needs to be gone through, but the motor spins free and has excellent compression. not sure whether i'll sell it or maybe build another cafe out of it.

some people are like slinkies, basically useless but they still make me smile when i push them down the stairs
