Not broken in, worn out topend..has changed cases as well..blank, no numbers.
 It sat since 85 , woke it up last year..smoked real bad, got better, but then got smoky again... Bores are hooped, I suspect..

 Blank cases, wow. I was at the big swap meet in Davenport Ia and a guy was selling font stamps for almost every bike except japanese. Do it yourself numbers match. I knew a guy that could do pontiac and chevrolet numbers too. He was a  super stock racer. lol.

I have at least two if not more sets of blank cases. At one time I packed around the receipt for the cases, bike was fairly new.. Now i dont even think of it.. I mean if a guy was trying to pass off something stolen, why leave it blank ?

Hey Frank,

Thought of your post while I was out today, so I stopped and took a pic.  Fun to see all those zeros roll over.

Darn -    I have a ways to go to catch up to you! ;D

I'm not far behind ya jerry.  I'm close to putting my 10,000th mile on Bloo.  Found her somewhere close to 18k, currently around 27 and some change.
