you know i had given small consideration to an R65 for all of $700 or so more than this bike was and it would've been running and i'd be riding from the get go.
but i know when this puppy is running i'll be glad i pulled the trigger on it.
for those that encouraged trying to get it running i just finished cleaning up the exhaust w/ WD-40 and 00 steel wool. not bad! has too much rust on the back side to be considered 'decent' but that's patina right?
encouraged by this i took the 00 and WD40 to the headlight bezel.
WOW! not perfect but waaaay better than i thought it'd be. might be a nice period 'rat bike' to play on for the remainder of the riding season if i can get it running (gotta find a carb -hint hint). Then i can tear it apart this winter and get it to cream-puff status.

I believe we all make mistakes but I will not validate your poor choices and/or perversions and subsidize the results your actions.
