Just curious. How much did you pay? Why did it sit for 6 years? These bikes are solid gold, and tough as a sherman tank, I can't believe no one noticed it in all that time! Have fun with it!

I bought it from a junk yard Star Towing San Diego they have lots of bikes that get impounded and then they sell them after no ones gets it out bc they are contracted with san diego PD dont know why it was there tho

i paid 1800 for it

Damn, $1800?! I need to do some junkyard shopping.

I'd consider changing the tires since they've been sitting out in the sun and slowly rotting for that many years.
