    6:58 MG B GT (MG is the manufacturer, B is the model and GT is the variant).

    It's good to see a video from you! I'm looking forward to the video when you replace that windshield! It drives me nuts every time!

    I think the car was an MGB GT. I had a British friend in HS and he had a couple of them.

    I’m sure you can sell it once you restore it. And if not it is a pretty sweet ride! In the meantime I’ll be enjoying watching you make it pretty again!

    My favorite bike if all time. Rode mine for over 10 years before a "mechanic" messed it up. Riding a FJR 1300 now. I still prefer the turbo. Also, the fuel petcock is easily turned while sittinng on the bike. Never had to use pliers.

    Fun bikes, I've had mine for 5 years now and have found if you double tap the warning button on the dash, the battery light will stop flashing for the key cycle, and these bikes hate sitting, no matter how nice the conditions. I drain my fuel tank before storing since they like to fill the cylinders with gas either through the petcock or the fuel return system. only found that out since I was lucky to get a service manual with mine.

    Is it a Suzuki GT 750 sitting in your garage?;)

  • @cambo1200
    @cambo1200 8 місяців тому

    Three cylinder 2-stroke? Either a Kawi or Suzuki then. Shot in the dark, I'll guess a GT550.

    This bike will be a Good Cafe Racer or a Scrambler

    Did you think about draining oil again and check for shavings before putting more money into it? Btw, for me yellow is the perfect colour for this bike.

    Are you sure you won't take that toaster for it? I'm afraid you're going to hurt yourself on it.

    I imagine that you figured it out, but it didn't sell because the yellow color is horrid and your price was way too high (even for one in great cosmetic condition with excellent paint). I owned four of these in the 1980s and have collected vintage cycles for the past 25 years.
