Hey 69,

3 wins and 1 runner up.

Thanks for your interest,

No Mike, not a police bike. It was an FX.
Bought this bike brandy new in Nov. 1973 ($2500.00)when I was a 19 year old in North Carolina. That was a lot of $ then. The FXE's were $3000.00 with a waiting list. Learned to kick !
Haven't bought a new bike since.

I found the latest AM 23 on Ebay. Just don't buy them all !!!
