Yep. Wipe it off and hang it up.

Looks kind of like a Sportster. Must be a girl's bike.

Just kidding. I agree with most of the posters. Wipe it down and hang it without restoring.

I would use some 000 steal wool on the chrome but that is about all I'd do.
Great find, but what about the grand kids

You need to lower it about 1 or 2 inches repaint the bars & replace the wheels with 20 -22 inchers & change the rake & make sure the brakes are up to par.

I think that you will need to eat lots of spinach to give it the "stage 1" upgrade.

Needs a 26" front wheel and solo seat. Have you decided on what kind of oil you should use, or if its ok to wear fingerless gloves when you ride it. (nice find)

That bike has been around the block a few times. Cool, but I wouldn't leave town on it.

I used to have one of these when I was a kid, red with a speedometer and all that. Wish I knew what happened to it.

Naturally I didn't like it because I couldn't ride it fast but man... dang I wish I had it still.
