    Bought this two weeks ago in Evansville IN and it arrived on Saturday.
    Shout out to Rusty IMG_9329.png IMG_9337.png IMG_9332.png Davenport and his son for dropping everything to inspect it for me.
    Also thanks to Cristina at Uberhaul transport for getting it here so quickly.

    I bought it from the third owner, he bought it in the late 80’s and had it restored in the late 90’s. Drove it a few times a year for the last 25 years, amassing about 2k miles.

    Needs a real deep cleaning / detailing and hasn’t had a tune up since 2000 or so, but I know guys who can help with that, lol.
    More pics tomorrow after I resize them.

    I was half expecting a knock on the shop door last weekend. I will be around all weekend, or evenings during the week, just let me know. And I can give you back the cane and walker. :>)

    Sure you don’t want to keep cane/ walker your not getting any younger

    Mine is a '66 like the one I had/sold. I don't need quite as big a lottery win as you:).

    Sure would be awesome to have a nice Riv GS display @ the Nationals!

    I recognize the look in that woman's eye off to the side of the Riv. I think my wife and daughters have given me that look more than once...
