It is one of the originals, a "classic", if you will. Here it is with the bow my wife put on it, because she says it is my Christmas present. It is a 1985 CJ-7 that is in mint condition. I couldn't believe how good it had been kept up, it looks like it has been just parked in a garage for the last 26 years. Snagged it for $4000.

I love the mid 70's CJ7 with the round head lights and the 304 AMC V8- would love to buy one someday but... I really have to start thinking about the kids college.

I'd really love to buy a semi-beat (used ) CJ7 for my son when he's 13 - 14 years old and spend a couple years restoring it with him- and then give it to him on his 16th b-day

I took my 3.5 year old with me to get some brake pads for my 400ex last month and he saw a PW50 sitting in the showroom at my buddy's dealership and wanted to sit on it so I let him and sent it to his mother, what is shocking is she wrote back asking me if I was gonna buy it for him. She is a nurse in the ER at the hospital and I almost fell on my ***! I bought it for him and a set of training wheels, I been hiding it in the back of the garage behind the tractor and the quads. I have ordered all the gear and stuff to so he will open all that and then I will take him down to the garage for him to see the bike.

I picked up a nice electric guitar & amp for my 8 yo-

I have it locked in the upstairs master bath- I practice with it every night (like I'm gonna say "play with it" )

Thanks guys, it just feels really good being able to give my little ones a Xmas as I was laid off half the year. I cant wait till it warms up a little and I can take him out with me so he can learn to ride.

Just a few hours away from giving my daughter the quad and I've been up since 4 am, guess I'm just a little excited, lol

We are doing gifts here today because we go to the inlaws tomorrow, about to go get it from my buddies house right away, it's a nice 41 degrees here today so that will make for some good weather for her to ride it a bit, better than -30 that is usually is at Christmas time here.
