I saw a 90 Westy with just over 18,000 miles on it about three years ago.
It was at a local guest ranch and one of the guests used to come out and use
it during his stay there.  It looked like it had just come out of the
showroom.  Problem was they wanted about $22,000 for it.  And it was an
automatic, which I am not particularly fond of.  Somebody did eventually buy
it.  And it was before I was on the list, so thats why I did not post it.

Cheers,

John Andrew
