just picked up this bike today, my first non-harley.
got it insured and drove it to campus (about 15 miles), ran pretty good. Definitely has some carb issues, kinda feels like theyre turning off and on? going to get a carb syncer and see how that goes. I don't guess there is anyone in the atlanta area that can let me borrow one? anyways, pics tell the story.

Well not too bad. Handlebars are not stock but who cares if you like them!
A nice clean up a bit of work and she should shine! As this is not a harley, these bike to rev. Get it tuned well and lay on that gas and take up, these things have a nice roar if you have a good exhaust.
The ride IS the adventure. The destination is just to get gas!
