    Provenance?

    New to the site. I answered a craigslist add the other day for a free bike. The son is going in the military and the mother wanted the bike gone. - - -
    Hi Damon and welcome,
    did soldier-boy agree to Momma giving his bike away? Does he even know it's gone?
    If not, I'd hate to be the guy he'll be looking for when he gets out of boot camp.

        The soon to be soldier was there and helped me load it up. I should be safe on that account. He'll probably regret it when he gets older.

                It's mostly complete. The side covers and tank are missing the badges. The grab bar is just not on it yet. I used to have an upholstery shop so I can redo the seat myself.

                                I've got filters, grips, and other essentials on order from bikebandit and have the carbs together. Should be able to try starting her up later this week. Very excited!
