I will be replacing the brake fluid among the first things I do. The brake is functioning.

You need to get the hearing aids and use them. Using hearing aids will help you save what you have left.

Trust me. This becomes a chopper over my dead body. I have no aversion to Specials, even the "stupid" handlebars.

Yes, I noted that. I have a couple of cores, I think.

Maybe I’ll build a chopper! :laughing:

That’s something I hadn’t noticed. I think that’s an improvement made for 1982?

I have known this bike for over 20 years. I didn’t ever imagine it coming into my care.

I acquired this bike about a week ago. It’s a one owner machine, or it was before it got dropped here. It came from a close friend. I know the brake fluid is original. The tires both have a 2003 date on them. I assume fork oil is original too. I don’t believe there’s anything to do other than...

I made it home just in time to save our potted plants from freezing to death. It was 32F at 2 AM. Now bright and sunny 46F.

I believe a few of the tools that come with the more expensive bike may be higher quality than what’s in the XS650 kit.

It’s pretty. I’m sorry you can’t.

I expect many of you have already provided expertise for this bike.

Yeah. The views were spectacular. When we stopped to look. I love a brisk ride on a crooked road. I met Ray Brown right here on this forum. He’s good for carrying this hobby into the future.

Mine was a 1973 Monte Carlo. It wasn’t very old when I bought it. It had the swivel bucket seats in it.

@Jim, your dog looks very annoyed.
