Been Around the Block
SO, i've been looking at some of the fantastic work that is being done many people on this site and decided that maybe mine should be on here too. 1975 Yamaha 650.
Long story short, got bored of my 1100 v-star so sold it, for a profit somehow, went for a 3 hour drive to Sarnia and came back with my 650. Rode her for the balance of last summer and had got tired of adding a liter of oil every 100 or so km's. Engine was very tired, stripped the bike down to the cases last fall and didn't do anything with it until two weeks ago. So far have the engine rebuilt 10 thou over with a whole bunch of new bits an pieces throughout, frame painted today and sitting in the basement.
