So it appears that old Suzukis seem to find me.
Been a while since I last posted because I sold my last project bike ('83 GR650) a few years ago. I had brought it to excellent running condition, but cosmetically it was still a project. Two daughters decided to get married in the space of four months and I needed money more than the bike. Didn't hurt that I picked up an '01 SV650 in excellent shape as a primary ride, so I reluctantly sold the GR.
Have been wanting another project, but had no idea what I wanted or where to find one that spoke to me.
A couple of years passed and a riding friend called to tell me his neighbor is moving and wants to sell a couple of Titans. Would I know anyone who might be interested?
"Sure, what's a Titan?" (I was into dirtbikes in the '70's and streetbikes were not even a blip on the radar.)
Did a little research and came home with two bikes. A '72 in boxes, a '71 in pretty good nick.
Sold the parts three days later and started on the carbs.
More later.
