This bike has been in my shed sitting the last 12 years. Tires were flat. I have finally decided to try and do a restore on it. I am shocked the tires held air when i pumped it up. Was able to roll it into my garage. All the gas has evaporated from the tank. What is left is the remaining 2 cycle oil. So far, i clean out the tank, took the carb off and cleaned out the carb too. Going to attempt to get it started. Once it is running, I will disassemble the complete bike and paint the frame the red. The previous owner decided to paint the frame blue, don't know why.
