Oh...if I had the cash......

The Forgotten On

I'm in the same boat. That kind of money can go a long way in getting my current pair in better shape.

But it is still oh so tempting.

Just stopped by to check this out, and had a chance to say hello to Mark in person. This is a very straight and eminently usable car once the fuel and brake lines are sorted out. That is basically what I need to do on my 84, so doesn't really make sense for me, but someone needs to scoop this up and keep it as a complete car! I can easily see, with some basic maintenance, this being a rolling restoration that you could have a ton of fun and using along the way. I just use it as is, the interior and paint look perfectly suitable for a driver.

Oh, and Mark is a good guy and it was nice to meet him in person.

Mark Anderson

Yes

Is this going to be another epic Rob Edwards project?

I was sorely tempted, saw the '78 in the flesh last week- it's a _really_ nice car, much nicer than where Minerva started. But I have another epic project underway, so nope, not me.

Rob, are those 8" rear S4 wheels in the front?

Rob Edwards

Yes, but they're my 'roller' wheels, the Clubsports are off getting re-anodized.

I like my 89 S4, but I can't understand why any one would want more than one 928, at a time.

FWIW, my 928, was neglected and has sucked up most of my hobby money since I bought this one 5 years ago.

One's enough, thank you.

and how many H.D. Motorcycles do you now own Joe T

When I got them, most weren't worth much, nobody wanted them. A few were given to me. I have 30 antique and classic Harleys. Today they're worth whatever someone would pay to get one. Crazy money today. Some are so valuable I don't ride them, and the parts are impossible to locate.

An old Harley is very easy to work on as long as you don't split the engine cases, and have to set up the lower end, or replace bushings in the timing covers. Not many people have the tools, reamers, truing stand, etc. I have all that and more. Plus I'm a factory trained and certified Harley Davidson master mechanic, " for anything built before 1986." I don't know very much at all about the new stuff. The newest bike I own is a 2003 VRod. It's modified, but it was done by one of my club brothers. Being liquid cooled, it'll handle the Vegas heat in stride. Old Harleys use 60W oil, it's getting hard to find, and forget about getting it at Thrifty's or Walmart. Used to be able to pickup Valvoline 60, almost anywhere.

The 928, is a very complicated car, as far as all the sensors and such. I love mine, no doubt about it!

Believe it or not, I paid more to buy my 89 S4, than I've ever paid for a Harley. I bought 2 of them new, an 80 Classic dresser, and my 84 Softtail. The Softtail, cost the most $7200.00, paid 11K for my 89, 928 S4.

I suppose if I keep the 928, as long as I've had my scooters it might be worth more than I have into it.

Because of the motorcycles, they created a lifestyle that I'm still very much involved in. I tried to quit once, wasn't able to walk away.
