I think the cheapest way to go would be the Oly Plinker around $500. No clue as to how they look or shoot though.

I would venture with the stuff you want to trade, you could get him a New rifle with all bells and whistles included. That 1964 Dream is a serious collectors bike if in good shape. You would be shocked at what I have been offered for my 1966 305 Superhawk.

Someone just donated a stripped bolt! Thanks BeerSlayer!!!!
Also, the Honda Dream will start, but has rotted tires, rusty rims, rusty interior tank, etc. IKt has good compression, but needs a lot of work. Balming |

I don't know what shape your motorcycle is in, but there's probably more than an Oly Plinker worth of rifle there if you decide to sell it-I ran a search for that bike on Cycletrader and here's what I got:
[url=]http://www.cycletrader.com/adsearch.html[/url] VERY CLEAN RUNS GREAT 1964 HONDA DREAM CA77 305, (909) 302-3393 24-JUL-02 3,500.00 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Add to Saved Cycles Oakville, WA $2,100.00 1964 HONDA, 250 DREAM, blk. w/white wall tires, 28,320 mi, very nice, $2,100, 360-482-8319, Oakville, WA.

Put it in the paper as a collectors restoration project, ask $1500 and see what happens. I was offered $5k for mine, but it is very clean with 2300 original miles and my dad was the original owner. It was also a limited edition for a dealer grand opening.

Kuryakyn, I don't know what to say! I never expectd something like that. If you'll email me your home addrss, I'll try to drop something in the mail for your kindness. Thanks!
BTW, I read your profile, and I grew up in Taylor Michigan, then moved here to Alabama in 1989. Taylor was not a very good place to grow up (drugs, alcohol, etc.) and moving away from all my friends as a teenager made it even worse. Thanks again, Dan AKA Balming |

Here is a better description of the 1964 Honda Dream:
Good compression, and will start. rotted tires and tubes, rusty rims, shift lever shaft broke flush with motor, so I tapped a 3/8 hole for a bolt to secure the shift lever. good sound fenders. missing battery cover, sticky brake and clutch cables, seat is torn but servicable. ignition retaining nut broken, ignition needs work. new lawnmower battery, plugs, oil. mufflers look good but a few small hols in the bottom of one of them. It could probably be made into a nice rider for around $300 or so. If anyone is close to gadsden Alabama and is interested, come take a look. Thanks again guys, y'all are great. Balming |

Yes, but its a 35 year old Jap bike that starts on the first kick, or better yet with the easy electric start ( almost put harley out of business) and it still runs like a top without any rebuilds, aftermarket parts, or such, oh, I have replaced the battery a couple of times and one replaced throttle cable. Not bad service life for a garage sitter. Now I wonder what Honda would offer to use it in their advertising?

I'd also like to add that since my father can't see well enough to use the sights, an old striped a1 upper with the carry handle smashed or bent, or a front sight base that has the top smashed or bent would be fine. I'll have to cut off the carry handle and put some type of optics he can use anyway.
Also, someone suggested that I should give him mine. My father is an old, stoic, stubborn German, and wouldn't hear of it. But I may take the guts out of my lower and whatever parts I can't come up with and replace them later. He wouldn't be able to tell I had done that. Balming |

Don't cut off that handle...
I can hook you up with an AR15 4X carry handle scope w/ BDC, and so on. It mounts right to the handle. That way, you can keep the handle, but have optics too. E-Mail me your address again... I'll send you the Carry Handle scope, and the M16 parts. You can use the parts to swap for AR parts, or "put 'em back" just in case [;)][;)] |

My suggestion is to give your AR to your Dad, and keep the beater gun for yourself...
On my Dad's last birthday,(Sept 22,2001) I showed up without a present because I was too friggin cheap to go out and find something for a Dad that already has "everything"... I figured I'd catch up with him at Christmas time... He died unexpectedly of a heart attack a few days later, on Oct 1st... The guilt was unbelievable... Weeks later, when my Mom split-up my Dad's guns between me and my 3 brothers, I refused to take any of them...My share of the guns went to my other brothers... I still feel like shit for not doing something nice for my Dad's last birthday... Give your Dad the nicest gun you can... You will get it back someday, and without guilt... BTW... If you need a buffer tube, spacer, screw, and spring, (no buffer) I've got one for you... Just drop me an email: [email][email protected][/email] |
