My mother purchased this bike new in 1980. She had it up until about 1987, then she gave it to my brother. She then got it back from him in 1989 and here it sat for nearly 16 years never used. I decided in the summer of 2005 to see if it would still run. and YUP! she started right up. Incredible! The carbs needed to be rebuilt and we put a new battery in and the bike runs great, and no smoke! It needs ALOT of body work so I decided to restore it. This is one of the many pictures I took right after I dug it out of the garage.
