Santa arrived the other day with my new toy,
1985, 750 Honda Shaddow,
She is in near mint condition and has 20,000 original kms on the clock. The guy I bought it off had put it in his shed 7 years ago and not touched it.
It has taken a fair bit of time to get her ridable again through his lack of storing it properly but over the next few weeks I will work my way through any of her problems.

How bad was it really, motor seezed? rusted, or just dusted :?

G'Day Wheelan,
Just needed new oil and filters, new seals in the carbies and changed the oil in the final drive.
Got a new front tyre on order but she runs like a beaut.
The rego is the killer over here $600+ but ma=ost of that is MAIB insurance.
The inlaws hate me again but I can live with that.

Inlaws hate all SIL's & DIL's so whats new there :p

Nice work easy fix and your almost street legal

Insurance in Tassie have they set up an office there yet :; with only two cops on the island it'll be a hoot riding

Very nice! :) Hope you get all the bugs worked out. Bikes were meant to be ridden, not stored.
