Well my dad gave me his first bike that he ever got this past weekend when I was up visitin and I am gonna try to restore it to like almost new with a few upgrades.

I know this ain't a 4wheel drive but it's still my winter project.

Hope to have pics up soon.

I'd love to have someone give me a /5. That's cool. (Or a /6, or even a /7).

ALright newesty update on the bike. It has not been started in just over 2 years and with a lil bit of coercion Last night 1-6-09 it started up and ran !!

I let it run for about an hour just lettein it warm up get some good fuel and some carb cleaner run through the system. It seems to be doin good but still need to do some carb adjustments on it and take it for a ride up and down the street to see how it does.

Close by? I've not been been watchin' for one (and, SWMBO would lynch me for it), and I suppose I've still got some other projects that have a bit higher priority....

But with that said.....


Maybe I should start to kick some cash aside for such and then start to keep an eye out for some local sweet deal that I could stumble across...... hmmm...........
