So this little beasty has been sitting in my sister-in-laws backyard for at least 8 years. Long story, short, it was left there by an ex-BF and despite efforts to contact him to come get it, no answer received. I decided to take it home during a recent clean-up effort at her house. It apparently no longer exists in the Colorado MV database and DMV says I can claim it but I have to follow the forms with the first stop at the Colorado State Patrol. Joy.
The good: it is pretty much complete, engine rotates, tires hold air (still amazed by this), parts are still available.
The bad: tank is VERY rusty inside, missing lower fairing "wings", been outside for its whole life, has been down a couple times, hidden gremlins no yet found!
Should be interesting. As long as I can get the paperwork sorted out I will attempt to get it rideable.
