The red/white paint scheme still looks nice to me.
I used mine for sport riding and did a 2000 mi trip with it. Still one of my favorite bikes.
Bring it back to life!

Working hard on it! I'll make you proud ;-) Although... The red and white color scheme will be nowhere to be found.
There were some issues with the title, but after fighting with the DMV a few times, we're finally in the clear. It's in my name, and I'm not sure why, but the title shows it as a one owner vehicle.
I haven't gone any further with the tank repair tonight. I found a bubble in the paint and decided to knock it down with some 80 grit. Unfortunately, as suspected, there's a small hole. Luckily the Por 15 kit comes with repair strips. I just need to get it done by tomorrow night so it has time to cure before paint on Tuesday.
I kinda accidentally forgot that tomorrow is not only my daughter's birthday, it's also my wedding anniversary. Sooo I don't think much will be getting accomplished this weekend after all.
I'm glad that your community is welcoming me so far. Can't wait to ride this thing!
