Hi, guys..long time no see I am still bikeless (and again jobless) but I found something to keep me busy during my slow days: A friend dropped this off at my house. Pretty sure it is going to need a complete rebuild, but I'm slowly getting into the engine when I have time. (It's a...

So there's a guy who contacted me about my bonnie - interested in buying but he lives on the other side of the country. Anyone ever shipped a bike? I have no idea what it takes to crate up or how much it costs to ship... What am I looking at in terms of shipping cost and my time?

So I noticed n my ride in this morning that my indicator light (turn signal indicator - the green one) has stopped working - I haven't ever looked at how these are set up but I assume it's a bulb, not wiring/short since all of the other lights seem to work.
