It caught my eye when I spied it outside your hideout last weekend. I walked around it a couple times admiring it's lines. What a nicely preserved jewel. I'm on the lookout for a birth year ride but this one's a bit beyond my budget. Hope it finds the right home.

Thank you! Such a beautifully original bike. I wish it wasn’t so far away.

Beautiful bike! I owned one back in the 80s. Wondering why you put the fuel in the "reserve" position rather than the "on" position? Were you low on fuel? How does the bike start when cold? Does the choke work? Was the bike repainted and seats refinished under your ownership or by the original owner?

Hello… and thank you! I was not low on fuel. As a rule, I only use “reserve” on any vintage bike that has an on-off-reserve petcock. Dunno why lol. I guess I feel as if I know how much fuel is in there. I remember being a young rider and how much I hated that running out of fuel feeling and fumbling around for the lever. Doing it this way just makes sense to my warped mind I guess. The bike starts 1st or 2nd kick when cold. Yes the choke works. The original owner (he owned it 62 years) had the bike redone (paint, seats, engine, etc) in the late 90’s by a shop in the PacNW.
