I'm still not sure whether the forum pic is a photo-shoot or whether the bike actually lives outside.
My friend's HD Sportster has been sitting outside his flat for nearly two years, totally unattended. He seems to think that with a quick look-over and fluid changes, he'll be able to ride it when he finds the inclination.
I'm sure most of us here would settle for nothing less than a total overall strip-down and rebuild. It's a pitiful mess. The paintwork on the tank seems to have survived rather well!
I digress...
