Purchased 12/02/2022 right here in Springfield Ohio. The gentleman who had it bought it in 2012 with 6655 original miles. His intent was to restore it, then show it and finally re-sell for a profit, but as things worked out it spent most of the next 10 years in storage.
The bike had 6658.7 miles on it when I brought it home and needs some TLC. It runs great out on the road, but is hard to start and doesn’t idle well. With a bit of luck, I’ll have it all sorted by spring and head to southern Ohio for some twisty road riding!
