Barn find.... (really)

I have rented this garage for 3 years. I knew this thing was way up in front below a shelf where the landlord still has a few things. So, today I got to it and uncovered it. It has (had) 2.4 miles on it, now it has 2.8. Took me all afternoon to get the tank and carb cleaned up and running. (Yes, I did all the things I learned on the forums including some Marvel Mystery oil in the cylinder.)




I don't know if that will show up. Anyway, it was sold at Sears in 1978 and was made in Austria by Kromag. A Google says Kromag was sold at JC Penny. But, the data tag on the frame says sold at "most" Sears.

I'm pretty sure who owned it and left it there. He has since died and my landlord is his stepson. The stepson didn't even know it was in there! I mentioned it once a few months ago. I'm not sure what I'm gonna do with it, if anything. It looks brand new.

Thought you might like a good story.
