Just noticed this PNW sub forum! 78 XS sitting in the shed for 5 years (?) since i got it, should run (ran when parked LOL) with tender care and new tires, fork rebuild. I am in Graham WA (SE of Tacoma)

Pics are always appreciated. Here is my '78 which I have never yet had it running but po said it did.

Welcome old school Me at 71 still enjoy riding but the longer day rides are more difficult. My 78 XS has been waiting for years for me to get it back on the road. With two old cars and 10 MC's it is good to be retired!

Thanks SCABBER! I thought the same as to the overall condition.
