I simply COULD NOT walk away from that deal.

Check the date of manufacture inside the helmets. Anything over 5 years is considered unsafe due to materials deteriorating. The bike itself is almost a steal if it runs as well as it looks. As for the jackets, do they fit ??

I will check the helmet dates. The man's jacket fits me well, the woman's jacket is too petite for my wife.

Job well done, your critique of your trip read like a novel. Like a good book I couldn't put it down. I would almost die for that kind of a deal on your bike! Great job, take some more trips and share!
