I feel both bad and stupid posting this but...long story short, I just got letter yesterday from my condo ASSociation telling me I essentially have NO CHOICE  but to rent an off-site storage garage now... for my motorcycle(s) and/or mopeds. (rules passed at last board meeting in Jan. included among other things, (along with a building wide "smoking ban")  As of now, only 1 motor vehicle per parking spot will be allowed in our underground parking area, and no longer will mopeds/motor assisted bikes, or scooters be allowed storage in the bicycle storage area)  NOW,after 5 years, I'm essentially being FORCED to rent a storage garage in town at $500/yr. (unless I park them in the snow covered parking lot outside and move them when it needs plowing.  LOL) so I changed my mind, and I'm just going to keep the Servi and relocate it, and my tools, etc. into the "storage garage", and work in peace.  Ian will now be "on the hunt" again for a bike unfortunately...SO, If anyone here can help him out, I would appreciate it as much as he would, I'm sure...

Trust me...ain't nothing "divine" about most of the "old bats" who hang from the rafters here in my building. (I know! I used to be on "the board" here)  As for selling...because 1/4th of my condo is still "bank owned", we have to deal with their "renters" coming and going, who wreck things for us owners. By "law", we can't "discriminate" between owners and renters with different rules, even though WE have a vested interest with MORTGAGES!  (thus the ever changing rules to deal with the problems associated with renters who don't care)  2 renters with loud Harleys started this latest complaint, not my motorcycle parked behind my car... I was told when I confronted a board member about it.   Most owners end up just renting out their units instead of selling, or "TRY" contract for deed. (but you know how that usually ends up!)  I've NEVER backed out of a deal before, and feel very embarrassed about the change of plan, and disappointing Ian.  (I of course will refund any/all "earnest money + a bit extra when/if I receive it from him for the trouble)  Had I'd known all this a month ago...and I sure wouldn't have been freezing my butt off trying to get crap moved this weekend in 15below zero weather either.  Well, I could look forward to a punch in the nose from Ian in Portland anyways.  That would be something new there I bet!  Guess now I need to shop around for a decent propane space heater, and some shop lights, etc...What can you do but ADAPT I guess???  Bright side...I can ride my Servi to/from the storage/workshop from home since it's only 5 miles away. LOL

I see the "Servicycle replica" on E-Bay is sitting at only $535 as of this morning with the sale ending today.  It sounds nice in the video with the B&S engine. Pick-up in FL is the only down side at the price IMO, and if those are Coker tires, it's worth more than that "in parts", don't ya think?
