thanks for the welcome. I told the previous owner I would love to restore it. But didn't have a way to get it the 140 miles to my house. I offered to pay him an extra $150 if he could get it here. He did it for $50. I was the only one who didn't want to chop it up for parts. truly an awesome guy. I put a carb rebuilt kit in. Turns over and runs sweet now. Just a few rusty spots on the frame to deal with. He said someone else converted it over to a belt drive.

 

Welcome from East Tennessee!
Whereabouts in Fl.??
I went to Punta Gorda every year for Vacay back in Mid 80's
I confess I miss the warmth!

Welcome from your northern neighbor (Cape Coral). Can't wait to hear about your progress on the sporty. Looks like February riding weather will be better but January has been doable.
