This bike has not been registered since 88. Was told it had been fired up 15 years ago.

Beautiful! I love that super low idle mate! An army friend of mine bought one new in 1981, he sold his K7 to buy it, and it went to his head a bit, kept calling my K1 "Jap sh1t" etc, so I thought it rather ironic when he got wiped out by a Jap driving a Mazda on the Gladesville Bridge only a few weeks after he bought it. It wasn't insured either, so last time I saw him he was riding an XS250 Yamaha......... ;D
I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"
