Brought my M1009 home to toledo, OH from flint, MI today. took a greyhound bus up to get it. the drive home was better! only problem i had was one of the left side turn signal bulbs went out on the way home. i know how everyone is about pics, i will get some tomorrow. i haven't driven one since i was in the army over 15 years ago- very nostalgic, actually misted up for a moment. it has found a good home.:grin:

Congrats to you for the 1009. Glad to see it has a good home. Maybe you will get the fever and you are able to show up at a rally or two. Good fun, good friends.

it was from private owner. he bought it GL picked up at lansing depot. he had a hardship and reluctantly sold to me. he put new u-joints, one battery, and filled it up with diesel for my trip home. he never got to put it on the road himself.
