P.G. County is a county in maryland where my parrents live... As far as i know they need ALOT of work, just for starters carbs rebuilt, break lines, guages MIGHT be ok but i doubt it, new control cables, new lights all around, probably new chain and sprockets, and tires.... Ive thought about rebuilding 1 of them years but just havent has the money.... If i can work it right with dad i can buy all of them and give them to you if you can pay me by rebuilding 1 for me
