Picked this up for a song on Craigslist today. Since surfing the Dyno pics in the gallery, I really liked the Moto Glide and just happened to see this one listed yesterday afternoon. I was getting ready for a wedding and knew I'd probably not be able to buy the bike. Luckily, the seller was also busy and agreed to give me the first shot today.
The bike is in decent shape, a few minor scratches. Had to replace a broken spoke nipple, but all else is solid. After remounting the tire, rode down the driveway, and the tire blew off the dang rim! Amazingly, the tube didn't pop and no damage to the rim from the asphalt. I mustn't have seated the bead properly because I used a hand pump like you should and didn't over inflate.
It'll get cleaned up and I'll ride around and see how I like it. I'd like to see a banana seat on it, but I'll probably put a layback seat post on it (my answer to every cruiser I've had). Most likely, I'll end up selling this one, but I'll have fun with it for a while.
