I'm really not into pushing the bike (or my skills/lack of skills), I'm just commuting/cruising.
Tacoma roads and a hardtail would be brutal.
If I was being a bit sporty with it, I could understand for sure.

Spokane to Tijuana in under 36 hours on a rigid Panhead. Spokane to Sturgis SD on a rigid 1938 Chief in under a day.

Favorite crash to date? Wrecked in the ditch out by the Ohop Valley Grange at 100 plus on a rigid when the in bar solid throttle wire broke...

Know Tacoma quite well... born in Puyallup, raised in Graham, worked in Fife 3 different jobs. Went to Bellarmine.

Dang... yer lucky they weren't parting YOU out after that.... Shocked

I'm 41 and have used a cane off and on since I was 29. Can't drive more than an hour without my legs shutting down these days.

pulling it is your best bet . easier to flip it around and weld where you need to. really easy to pull the motor when your at that point anyway. when you order the hard tail he will send you detailed instructions.

Exactly. On the vintage bike stock market, that tank itself is worth more than the rest of the (modern, hacked) bike.

Sorry, it's just the hard truth.

Like putting a Civil War sofa in a 1990'2 living room, if you understand...

haha the truth isnt very hard. it cost me a few bucks. definately not worth more than the bike itself tho. and if i had a civil war sofa id still sit on it drink beer eat chips and fart in the cushion.
