i wish i could afford that 650b porteur, its absolutely beautiful .
Mitch, You are asking way too little for that beautiful machine! It should sell easily for that price. Good luck in the new digs.

Tony, I know, but with the move on the horizon, I'm hoping to leave it in the PNW where those fenders belong. Thanks!
