Default Officially it sucks

The old 82 has had to be parked now for 2 weeks because of rain snow and ice. Its nice that i dont have to put a drip pan under this one....no leaks. Chain still has some oil splatter. 2300 miles i got too put on it so far ...Maybe black wall tires and maybe a new o ring chain up next.
