Does anyone else have a bike that you look back more fondly on that it deserves? This was my first project bike. It was really beat up, and I made a lowball offer that the seller accepted. Oops, just bought a project!
Redid the fork seals, the whole braking system, chain and sprockets, tires... But there were still even more problems than I had time for (paint, rust, fuelling weirdness, rear shock issues). I always wish I still had it until I remember how much more work it needed.

Wow! Seeing this was like a (good) slap to the face. That could be my bike from the late 80’s.
The coldest I’ve ever been was on that bike.
It taught me that I require more steel around me when on the road, and that a motorcycle as a sole form of transportation causes one to make very poor choices occasionally.
The most nearly dead I’ve ever been, though, was on a friends V65 Magna. Instrument of death, that one.
