X53

[nateyboy]

As some of you know I've been looking for an X53 tank for a while. Didn't find a tank, but I did take a road trip on Friday for this:

Thanks to those of you who alerted me about the tank on the bay that sold last night. Happy to say I didn't need it after all.

Wow, lucky score! Looks like all you need for that one is the headlight.

woo! thats beautiful! i wish mine was that original. if you dont mind me asking, how much did you have to pay for it?

Thanks for all of the compliments guys. I think this one may have dethroned my '55 Hawthorne Deluxe as my favorite in the stable. I'm hoping to begin the tear-down this weekend to get it cleaned and regreased. I bought a re-pop Rocket Ray that I want to strip and repaint to match and I'm going to spray the chainguard too. Otherwise I'm not touching it. The original paint isn't perfect, but I'm keeping it just the way it is.

LobsterBoy-this one is actually your fault. I liked your RRBO4 bike so much I had to find an X-53!

I am jealous not only of your bike but also of your organizational skills! Great score.
