I have to agree, she looks pretty rough, but mechanically it runs like a charm. The tires are shot, have to add air pretty much every time you go to use it. Just needs a bit to TLC.
Free advice is worth exactly what you payed for it.

I'd simply slap on a new set of boots and put the seat back on, and ride it like it is Cool

Greg you know if you wash it, it will never work again. Or if it does you will constantly be fixing things that never leaked before but won't stop now.  Big Grin Big Grin Big Grin

Greg, that'd be my take. Especially when you consider how many other irons you have in the fire. Unlike me who has irons in the cold coals. Blush
