Nice score for the price. A little project time and she'll be a solid runner.

Wow that looks like a solid score. probably make a little coin on it later when she wants something bigger.

as far as the plastic restoration, go to a car show if you can find one. they have stuff. otherwise isn't there a product like ever black or something like that?

Nope. Mothers is the bomb-digity. I did the Miata's bumpers in the stuff and all the black on my Mini when I had it. That mini was surrounded in black rubber - it's almost like they expect them to be owned by women that play bumper cars more than driver them... oh wait....

Nice find!

Its amazing how people let bikes get in such disrepair. How hard is it to change the oil and check the fluids?

More effort than it takes to press buttons on a Playstation paddle which is beyond many of the younger folks these days...

What are you like 90 years old all of a sudden? Cut it out with the "these kids these days..." crap.

Some kid told me I had a nice watch the other day but couldn't figure out how I could possibly tell time using it (it's analog). Blah

Get off my lawn!

Basic oil changes and chain cleaning take nothing more than a cheap Walmart tool kit and a driveway or parking lot.

The only digital watches I see these days are Sunntos worn by people who hike/climb a lot. Everyone else wears analog. Too big for their wrists, I might add. But not surprising, given the current "rims too big for your car" trend.
