wow do i envy you lucky folks out west ! i visit utah every so often
& think the wasatch range is spectacular.
i've got 3 type 2's & they are ,shall we say, a bit rusty... for a solid bus-
even a late model aircooled- that price would be an impossibly good steal.
you guys could make a billion selling solid stuff at a well-publicized event
back here in the old world !
peace, thom
