It sickens me when I watch videos of people doing rolling burnouts and wheelies on the rev limiters for a long time. I think to my self " that poor thing" Some have no respect or appreciation for our fine motorcycles.

I'll try that again another time. Looking forward to spring and getting out on it.
Hard to believe that bike is 24 years old.

It truly is a good looking bike. Can't wait to ride it. It does have a couple issues with not being ridden. Accelerator pumps leaking fuel so the carbs gonna need a rebuild. I'll get to that and open the cam chest to see if it's got an upgraded cam plate or not and if it doesn't then I can at least check if the tensioners are worn.
