Thanks

October 2024 update: the '37 Blue Chief and the '45 Grey EU Chief have been sold, along with a few parts for each respectively. The 2 tone '47 Red Chief is still available, along with a complete '47 Chief powerplant, on a dolly, ready to bolt in a chassis, built by John Bivens. Also several items such as an unassembled 3 speed trans, a nice solo seat, a couple of oil pumps, wheels w/hubs, a few bobber fenders,, and more. I'm keeping the Bobber Chief for now, but am downsizing my quiver considerably.
Thanks to everyone who responded to my ad back in Feb.

Their all beautiful looking rides, the 45 really stands out as an eye catcher. Thanks again.

Friend of mine is looking for a '37 Chief, blue looks good, please send me a PM with asking price and I will let him know. Some type of price would be best so we don't low ball and cause an issue. Also, where are you roughly located.

What a beautiful collection.

Thanks for taking a look, Max. Here's a better look... Casitas, 4:16. Casitas Dam looking South.jpg '36 Blue Chief, c.15.jpg '47 Chief, c.'97.jpg thumbnail_IMG-6235.jpg The Bobber is a '36 parts bike. The Blue Chief is a '37 motor in a
'33 frame, otherwise mostly correct. The skirted Chief is a '47, 80in., with a 4 speed. The Grey one is a '45 EU, very correct. They all have 18" wheels... also all are still for sale. lots of parts.
If they sell as a lot, I've got enough stuff a serious buyer would be able to recoup a big part of the initial purchase price. If I part out the bikes, the previous offer would not apply.
Contact me through this forum via private message, for more details. C2K

Rich, I really don't know. She's been in a care home in Fillmore, and its been more than a year since I talked to one of her boys. Yea, she's been a little fireball her whole life.
I'm sure she's tough enough to make it into her 90's. I wish her the best...

Thank you for the post. I sent you a private message. Thank you

Boy Roger that's quite the quiver of arrows you have there. Beyond my pay grade but fair priced. Good luck. Regards, Rich P.S. Is Indian Lil still with us?

I am seriously considering selling my modest collection. 4 Chiefs... they all need something. All have different issues. Private message me here... don't try to BS me... I'm smarter than I look !!
...Caveat... its totally possible I might change my mind about selling. NO BARGAIN BASEMENT OFFERS... don't waste my time... I'm NOT desperate. PERIOD. Simply looking to see if anyone is seriously interested... THIS IS ONLY A TEST... prices vary... a reasonable offer would be in the 24K-32K range... these bikes are well appointed, many extra parts... but need minor effort and work to be dependble worthy (in my humble opinion). Really a great opportunity for someone seeking an affordable start, or maybe a second bike. I'll see how this approach works... Remember... this is only a test.

Heres a couple of pics... more pics if you're serious. NO BULLSXXT... please... I'll shut this down, if I don't like what I hear from respondents... C2K thumbnail_IMG-6236.jpg thumbnail_IMG_0002.jpg thumbnail_IMG-6240.jpg limited pic's here... more available, as interest is more focused on specific specimens. as interested parties inquire, I can gather more pics with a little help from a friend with a better camera. Yes, I'm just testing the waters for a start... private message here on this site
serious inquiries please... I'm NOT in any way desperate... in fact, Im very wary about this novel approach. I am NOT an eager seller... I can smell what You're steppin' in, so don't even try.
