[net.cycle] Blue book for cycles?

pickens@sdcsla.UUCP (Karen Pickens) (09/05/85)

I finally drove my car into the ground.  Yeah!

I'm going to a motorcycle lien auction this weekend, and I was wondering
where to find out what reasonable prices for bikes are.  Is there anything
like a blue book for motorcycles?
	
	Thanks!

I answered my own question by calling the library and then going there.
The Motorcycle Blue Book is a reference and can't be checked out, at
least in San Diego.
 
Subscriptions are $8.00 per year, with two issues per year.
The address is:
	Hap Jones
	P.O. Box 32368
	San Jose  CA. 95152

Sorry to be so brain damaged as to bother you all, but maybe the address will
be of use...

	Bravo! And yes there is a "blue book" for cycles! Looks
just like the auto type. Try a bank or credit union for a copy.

	At your local lending institution (of which there are plenty in La Jolla!)
you can check out their copy of NAD'a blue book for motorcycles. Our credit
union has one and I just used it the other day to see what my Interceptor
was worth (not as much as hoped, sigh). I think it went back to 78 or 79.

By the way how's my old stomping ground? It's raining like crazy here!*$!!

Yes, bravo!  (Hard to convey a raucous whistle--lean on your
control-G once or twice.)  If you can't get hold of the blue
book, I've found a rule of thumb for smaller bikes (100 to 650 cc)
to be $1 per cc as an asymtotic lower limit.  It may be true for
larger bikes as well, but I don't know that market at all.
