Are you sure you don't like it? I'm sure there's a way we can graft it on to the front of your car.

I'm getting pumped to go pick this thing up. I'm going down there on Thursday night, and I'll have a nice long weekend to work on it. I don't think I'll get it running this weekend, but I'll get a good start on it. We have an ultrasonic parts washer at work, so if I get some rebuild kits, taking care of the carbs should be pretty easy and I will probably save a couple hundred bucks doing it myself. I just have to get them adjusted properly when it's back together. I'll have it running good before the snow falls.

Got 'er torn down to the frame and motor. There's some surface rust on the frame that I'm going to touch up, but I wont worry about it too much right now. If I really like riding this thing and want to keep it for a while, I might take it down to the frame and bead blast it and have it powder coated. But that's a winter project. For now I just want to get it running. I might end up getting a new gas tank, but we'll see once I take a closer look at this one. It's a little rusty.

I power washed the whole thing and started polishing all the bits and pieces. I'll work on doing that this week while I wait for a few parts so I can start putting back together. Depending on the tank situation I might have it running in a couple weeks, and it will be like a brand new bike. (well, almost)

Here's a few pics.
