I’ve been super busy with the new job and with getting my girlfriend and I settled into our new place, but here’s a shot from 2 weekends ago on some canyon roads in socal. Note the sexy CL side pipes I picked up after my lowcut pipe cracked at the header. ![http://i1064.photobucket.com/albums/u375/pmaxwellh/533E909F-9E48-4031-ADA0-1651A606FE2B_zpslr9iqxs0.jpg](http://i1064.photobucket.com/albums/u375/pmaxwellh/533E909F-9E48-4031-ADA0-1651A606FE2B_zpslr9iqxs0.jpg) Also, I purchased this moto3 a while ago in Buffalo for about what a case of cheap beer would run, but the inside was rotten. There is a place called Primo Helmet Design out here that re-lines old lids. Rene did an amazing job with this and it looks and fits great now. ![http://i1064.photobucket.com/albums/u375/pmaxwellh/2181EA1B-744B-45B6-A36E-DAC9347BF450_zpsagvkeuhc.jpg](http://i1064.photobucket.com/albums/u375/pmaxwellh/2181EA1B-744B-45B6-A36E-DAC9347BF450_zpsagvkeuhc.jpg) ![http://i1064.photobucket.com/albums/u375/pmaxwellh/1E339524-88D8-4AC2-A9F1-55AFC361BEA2_zpsvq5it9o5.jpg](http://i1064.photobucket.com/albums/u375/pmaxwellh/1E339524-88D8-4AC2-A9F1-55AFC361BEA2_zpsvq5it9o5.jpg) ---

Ran all last winter, ate a piston in april. I just got it rebuilt for $200 (parts and $75 to bore the cylinder .020 over). I’d say go for it, try $700. Don’t plan on riding it on any road with a 55+ speed limit. works great around town. If it doesn’t have a title you will have to buy a '72 and older frame. Then, with a bill of sale from the older frame, you’ll be able to get it registered. newer than that and you are sol [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/whos-rocking-a-vintage-motorcycle/213065.md?page=9) [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/whos-rocking-a-vintage-motorcycle/213065.md?page=11)
