Re: First A-290 I've seen around here.
Someone else beat me to it.. It was a pretty nice machine. Just a little crazing on the top of the lid and the usual "scars" here and there, but overall, a very good looking machine. I guess I was just an hour or so too late.... On the bright side, I saved over $800.00 that I can use to buy Harley parts.... LOL..FloridaClay wrote:Hope you get it and will post lots of pictures here.

Re: First A-290 I've seen around here.
This is why you should never, ever post ads for machines that are remotely of any interest to you to the forum. Sorry to say it, but someone (not me) probably saw the ad through this section and bought this fine piece out from under you before you even had a chance to make the call. On rare pieces like this, the vultures circle extremely quickly. :/Scott wrote:Someone else beat me to it.. It was a pretty nice machine.

Re: First A-290 I've seen around here.
I believe you are correct.. I'm not a "serious" collector, but it sure was a nice machine and would have looked really good next to my B-275.. Maybe I'll send IMs in the future to those that know a LOT more than I do.. It's all good.. As long as it goes to a good place, that's fine with me.Garret wrote:This is why you should never, ever post ads for machines that are remotely of any interest to you to the forum.
