    Winter's project bike

    Meet ""Spica", my winter project. Just couldn't pass on this one. 09794 original miles. Came off the line July 1980. Number is 4W1 000189. Started right up and has no valve clatter but CC needs adjustment. Original exhausts are prisine. PO screwed up a couple things noticed on first inspection but nothing major. "Hermes" has a girl friend, my wifes not talking to me at the moment. Sometimes you just have to stand up and say I'll descide.


    Needs some touch ups but I'll probaly tear it all down and repaint anyway.
