Hi All. First off I'd better admit to misleading you a bit as I'm not exactly a kid, I've had bikes constantly since 1973, but I am new here! Anyway I live in the UK and I've just picked up a 1980 XS650SE that's a bit of a mess as it's been left unused outside in the rain for the last couple of years. After putting some fresh gas in it and hooking it up to a working battery it fired up on the second kick though so I just have to do a few jobs to get it on the road. I reckon on riding it around for a month or so just to see how it is then rip it to pieces to start making it look pretty again
