it started raining on the southwest side of the city as we loaded her onto the truck. traffic wasnt fun driving east on 290...some guy was holding up cars in the lane next to me and gave shelly thumbs up!

i had never owned/worked on a bike, i figured i could use "the machine" to lift the bike off the ground.

picked up another donor bike near cleveland and a true barn find in upstate ny.

cb77-104202x with cb77e-104204x
cb77-103968x with cb77e-103969x

spent twice as much in gas as i did on both bikes, but quite an interesting trip!

ed sent me a carb slow jet and i got the engine running with minimal attention to the ignition system. i was using a car battery to jump start the bike and i started tearing the bike down for brightwork/paint.
