First ride after a 34 year nap

[huckfinn]

This is my twin I picked up a couple months ago now and just got the rebuilt carbs back, I cleaned and sealed the tank , put a fresh battery in and changed the oil so far and had to fire it up and run it down the road a mile just to breathe some life back into her lungs, Nice to hear it run, I aquired it from a gentleman who owned this one and another since 1974, This was his wifes bike with 6500 miles, I need to replace the mirrors the clutch handle and rear left cracked signal light lens, she apparently set it down on that side one time but thankfully didn't damage the tank or side cover so no big deal, Original tires from 1972 without a crack in them, I let a little air out of the tire and when I inhaled it I spoke japanese for a moment???Anyhow time to get back to a much needed overdue service for this purple cb, I don't know why the photos arent upright?

Bike looks really good, nice find.

I don't know why the photos arent upright?

Did you look at my Welcome Package of helpful links? There's one that explains picture orientation.

However, it will be less of an issue after tonight as we are changing to a new format in just over 12 minutes.

The forum will be offline for an hour or two starting at 10 PM Eastern time.

So who did the 34 year nap, the bike or you?
