The owner has been riding this spring a few times so I know it is running fine. I looked at the tires and did not notice any cracks...was'nt the good look you get while cleaning though. If every thing goes as planned I will pick it up around 6:00 this Friday. With storms in the forcast at rush hour on a very busy major highway with tons of lights and traffic it have to ride on a trailer. Plus my wife wont be able to drop me off at that time( 1 hour away). If not then I will have to wait another week while he is away. I would hate to miss the long weekend so it may be a trailer queen for its first trip with me.I will update after Friday!
