Back after 13 years
Yesterday at 23:01:18
 
Some of you might remember my "Matchless tribute" project from 13 years ago.  Now 76 I'm ready to sign over my Harley to my son, but not ready to quit riding. So I picked up an '88 Savage with under 5k miles on it, for under $600 on Marketplace. It's a great project bike but will be kept mostly stock this time.  It was not running so I started a minor teardown to check it out. I decided to remove both side engine covers so I could  polish them easier and got a big surprise - when I loosened the gen cover about a gallon of gas came out. Yes it still had the original shutoff valve so a new Raptor one is on order.  I will also be replacing gaskets and the shifter and drive sprocket seals as it has a significant oil leak.

It's a good thing it didn't crank - up !     That might have been quite the light show !   Roll Eyes

I can't imagine how you suffered all those years with no bike !   Huh   I'm glad you've been spared from that other life and hope you can get on the road soon !   Welcome back !
