Default N00B? I don't feel N00B

Hi all,

What a great place to find. I have an 88cane that I bought new in 88. It has been sitting a few years, but now the gloves come off and it is going to get put back on the road.

I will be picking some brains, and hopefully some parts from sellers to get it going again.

I am in Eastern WA.

This is what it looked like last summer, box stock and unmolested. Except I took off the 1000 stickers the day after I bought it. More of a sleeper that way.

It has a few minor issues, which I should be able to take care of fairly easy.

Thanks for the welcome.

It has a little uner 27K on it. It helps that it has always lived in a garage. It is amazing what the weather will do to a bike over the years. I have a 75 Norton 850 I am restoring that looked at least 20 years older due to being stored outside.

No Norton pics, besides right now to say it is rough would be kind!

Well, it's a classic. Fix it up and take care of it. I've seen a couple of them riding around me.
