MSF was $100 for me but I'm sure it varies by state, make sure your signing up for the beginner course. Bring your brother withyou if you can, always nice to have someone inthe know when your negotiating the price.

I went by myself today after work. The guy was really down to earth, older guy in his late 60's? He's been riding a lot longer than I've been alive. Pleasant surprise, the bike is belt driven. I was really impressed, I liked the seating position and the bike was in really good shape.

I have "first dibs" so I just need to figure out a offer I want to ask him. I'm thinkin $850 (he has it advertised as $1,100) along with a 6-pack of his favorite beer I need to email him...

Probably get a fork brace; there's a lot of air between the fender and the headstock. Gently used. Nice wear on the front tire.
Looks pretty good for the money.
