Nice. It' cheaper to have Cycletherapy than Psychotherapy.

lol. works for me.
This one has been around my town for years. Not sure if he was the original owner but one of the owners passed away and a friend of mine bought it with intentions of refurbishing it. He took it apart as far as you see it here..lost interest and it's been sitting in a mutual friends shed for 10 years.
My friend that bought it passed away last fall so I bought it and I'm going to put it back on the road to honour him.
I'm going the cafe look route which is what I intended to do with my 76, but it's in to good of a condition to do that to.
I'm going to save the saddle bags for my 76 but the trunk and fairing are going away..
