BIRD WANTED!

[pattypape]

George,
It is out there, you just need to find it.
The more details you require the longer it will take.
It took us almost two years, but we were in no hurry, and
probably overly cautious of these ole machines, ( no experience).
Look at as many Birds as you can find, even the bad ones. I learned
a lot from the Birds that needed a lot of attention.
Most Bird owners will gladly show you their coach.
Someone on the forums may volunteer to check it out for you before
you make a trip to see it.
Ralph in Oklahoma and Jeff in Michigan can help you, with a full
inspection, Both are on this forum and are very knowledgeable.

price to match)
