Beautiful, unbelieveable. And the NOS bits.

Gee, if that doesn't get $10,000us I'll be most surprised.

That is one pretty motorcycle; and I still have another seven days in which to win Lotto. C'Maaaarn Lotto!!
I don't think I ever saw an orange MXer back in the day, but now with the Harleys and the Can Ams they're in plague proportions. ;)

Funnily enough I still relate orange with the 70s here in OZ.
The colours orange and 'mission brown' (do all the Aussies remember mission brown?) were everywhere. I still have Mum's old swivel chair (orange...) from back then.

I may not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it.

Here's the eBay bike and another from CD5. Personally I prefer the orange side covers.

I've been watching this Harley and if it is a brand new bike then why does he list all the NOS parts he's put into it? That's my bike at CD5 with the orange sidecovers. I thought they'd look better painted orange rather than black.

John...How many Harley MXers are in OZ to your knowledge? I spoke to a bloke with a similar Harley to yours at CD1 and he reckons it was the only one in the country. I wonder where that bike is now? I can't remember his name but he told me he had an XR750 flat tracker as well. He drove a black 454 Chevy C10 pickup which I reckon was almost as cool as the bike.

Firko i think there are 2 Harley MXers in OZ. Elvis in Vic apparently has one, i've never seen it but a few people have told me about it. It probably was the only one at the time of CD1, i got mine about 4 or 5yrs ago.
