Hello all

[Normac]

Long time listener, first time caller.
Well - long time lurker, and finally decided to join.

My name is Rob.
CNC Operstor, vintage motorcycle enthusiast, and former small engine mechanic.

I didn't see a 'welcome' or 'new members'area, so I decided to post here.

Welcome to motor oil insanity. Soon you will be talking motor oil at the dinner table. Don't say we didn't warn you.

Welcome to BITOG and see you're living a stone-throw away from St Louie Mizzura. I'm a stone throw away from Day-Twa Meechigin.

In 1971, I drove a brother-in-law's mid-60s BSA Motorcycle around the block a couple times. Never got on another bike to this date. Had I stuck it-out back then, I'd probably been dead before the 1980s began.

Careless and Care-Free was me back then. Thought I was going to live forever. Then about 10-12 years ago, I made a 180 degree turn and now sometimes communicate with those that are living forever.....lol

Ah! Very nice... looks like a Suzuki 500. Only thing I 'd be concerned with re the ravages of time are i) seals between cylinders + outboard of cylinders (rubber perishing), crank seal surface rust; and ii) cylinder surface rust. Not a lot of fun to have to split the crank to renew the inboard seal... and realign crank cheeks.

Nice! I hope you have the tank and seat. Otherwise, what Cdn17Sport6MT said.
I brought back an old Enfield and a Sportster that had been badly stored for 25 years. All of the seals and rubber bits had to be replace on both.
