I CAME ACROSS COUPLE OF BEAUTIFUL CONDITION OLD MOTORCYCLES LAST SPRING  AT LOCAL ESTATE SALE,THIS 72 KAWASAKI f-8 AND 68 HONDA CL 175, THEY WERE COVERED UP IN THE BACK CORNER OF VERY NICELY KEPT GARAGE WAS TOLD BY THE GRANDSON THEY WERE NOT FOR SALE AFTER LINGERING AROUND LOOKING AT THE VARIOUS ITEMS FOR WHILE ASK THE OLD WOMAN IF THE BIKES WERE FOR SALE ,SHE ASK ME WHAT WOULD GIVE SO UNCOVERED THEM TOOK GOOD LOOK  AND MADE OFFER SHE SAID THAT SOUNDED GOOD TO HER,I STARTED TO PAY FOR THE BIKES WHEN THE GRANDSON GOT WIND OF WHAT WAS HAPPENING HE HAD FIT, THEN ANOTHER CUSTOMER CHIMED IN AND INFORMED GRANNY THAT SHE WAS GIVING THE BIKES AWAY THEY WERE WORTH THOUSANDS, AND HE WOULD PAY ALOT MORE ,I DONT THINK  THE IDIOT  HAD TEN BUCKS TO HIS NAME BUT WAS INSTANT KNOW IT ALL APPRAISER HAVE YOU EVER WANTED TO PUNCH SOMEONE IN THE MOUTH. TOLD THE GUY THE DEAL WAS DONE AND HE NEEDED TO MIND HIS OWN BUSINESS ,ANYWAY TO MAKE LONG STORY SHORT GRANNY CHANGED HER MIND ,THE BIKES WERENT FOR SALE ANYMORE ,AND FAMILY FUDE STARTED. SO LEFT MY PHONE NUMBER AND TOLD HER IF SHE CHANGED HER MIND TO CALL ME, FIGURED WOULD NEVER HEAR FROM THEM AGAIN. ABOUT MONTHS LATER GOT CALL FROM THE SON INLAW  WHO TOLD ME ALL ABOUT THE BIKES, HE SAID  THEY BOTH RAN AND BELONGED TO THE DECEASED  FATHERINLAW ,THEY WERE RIDDEN AND KEPT AT PRIVATE AIRPORT THAT THE FAMILY OWNED. HE ASK IF STILL HAD INTREST BUT THE HONDA HAD BEED DAMAGED ,THEY DROPPED  HEAVY RADIO  ANTENNA FROM THE RAFTERS IN THE GARAGE DAMAGED THE GAS TANK,THE GUY SAID THEY COULDENT FIND  THE TITLES ,HE ASK ME IF WAS STILL INTRESTED,  YES WAS STILL VERY INTERESTED.  I KNEW HAD TO OWN THESE MACHINES, WENT BACK OVER  TO TAKE ANOTHER LOOK AND AFTER NEGOTATING  I AGREED TO PAY  4 TIMES MY ORIGINAL OFFER AND WAS HAPPY TO DO SO.  YOU JUST DONT SEE OLD ORIGINAL BIKES LIKE THIS EVERYDAY, THEY ARENT OUT THERE LOOK FOR STUFF LIKE THIS AND THEY ARE FEW AND FAR BETWEEN. GOT HURT LAST SUMMER AND HAVE FALLEN BEHIND ON MORE IMPORTANT THINGS ,I HAVE DECIDED  TO START SELLING  OFF MY COLLECTION,I DONT HAVE TIME AND AM LOOSING INTREST .I HAVE TOO MANY MISC VEHICLES AND NOT ENOUGH TIME MY WIFE AND ARE WANTING TO MOVE OVERSEAS AND RETIRE AND MY WIFE IS PUSHING ME TO SELL OUT ,ITS TIME TO PART WITH THIS STUFF CANT TAKE IT WITH ME.,IM LOOKING FOR SOMEONE WHO REALIZES  WHAT THIS REALLY IS AND IS WILLING TO GIVE IT THE LOVE AND ATTENTION IT DESERVES,ITS NICE COLLECTOR PIECE.AND PRICED TO SELL.

I DID GET THE BIKE RUNNING,I ADDED FRESH 93 OCTAINE RICH 20:1 MIX  IT STARTED ON THE SECOND KICK TO MY SUPRISE THE TANK WAS DRY WHEN GOT IT, SOMEONE WAS SMART ENOUGH TO DRAIN FUEL  FOR THE TIME THAT IT SAT. BEFORE STARTED THE BIKE PRE MIXED THE FUEL BECAUSE PRIOR EXPERIANCE HAS TAUGHT ME NOT TO TRUST OLD OIL INJECTION PUMPS ON VINTAGE TWO STROKES, ANYWAY THE BIKE RAN AT VERY HI IDLE, COULD NOT GET IT TO IDLE DOWN, IT RUNS SUPER STRONG AND SOUNDS GREAT,I ENDED UP REMOVING THE CARB AND DISCOVERED THE RUBBER BOOT AROUND CARB HAD SHRUNK AND WAS POSSIBLY SUCKING AIR, AND THE THROTTLE CABLE WAS PULLING  UP, DUE TO SHRUNKEN RUBBER BOOT HAVE TRIED TO SOFTEN THIS BOOT UP WITH NO SUCESS FRIEND SUGGESTED SOAKING IN CARB CLEANER TO SOFTEN IT BUT NEVER DID,THIS WILL NEED ATTENTION OR REPLACED TO RUN PROPERLY, IM SURE ONE IS AVALIABLE SOMEWHERE  OR YOU MIGHT HAVE BETTER LUCK GETTING THE OLD ONE PLYABLE AGAIN. EXHAUST HEAT SHIELD IS ALSO MISSING WAS PROMISED THE  CHROME HEAT SHIELD FOR THE EXHAUST WHEN THEY FOUND IT, NEVER GOT CALL AND THEY HAVE SINCE SOLD OUT AND MOVED ,SO ITS MISSING  THE HEAT SHIELD,  COULD USE NEW OIL INJECTOR CABLE IF YOU DESIRE TO USE THE FACTORY OIL INJECTOR ,I DAMAGED THE ORIGINAL ONE MAY BE FIXABLE HAVENT TRIED, ITS DISCONECTED, OTHERWISE THIS IS THE BIKE, VERY NICE RESTO CANIDATE OR NICE OLD RIDER WITH LITTLE MONEY AND SOME TLC, IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS JUST ASK BEFORE BIDDING ,BE HAPPY TO ANWSERWILL BE SELLING AS IS WHERE ISBILL OF SALE ONLY TITLE HAS BEEN MISPLACED"  IF IT EVER EVEN HAD ONE
