It is great job if you can let go. I always get so attached, I can't. When I tried fostering about a hundred years ago, I ended up with 30 masters. Over the years, that number dwindled as they got old and crossed, now I try to keep my crew between four and six. Do it if you can, it gives you a chance to ser lots of different personalities...lol

Agreed, on the passing issue. I put 60,000 miles on mine and it was still running great when I sold it...and I rode wheelies balanced in the sweet spot alot. Nothing as satisfying as a 200 yard wheelie at 30mph. Never experienced front cylinder issues. Not saying you are wrong, just that I never experienced that issue. Most people are just going to pick up the front end and set it back down, so there shouldn't be a problem. Good advice though.
Oh what a view...bike and backdrop. Had one of those in the mid seventies, and it is a very capable trail machine as long as you keep the pace down and don't over ride the suspension. Your example appears to be in fine shape, if you have the resources and a little mechanical skill, it would make a fantastic restoration project. If not, it should prove quite adequate to ease you back into the sport...decent torque and power delivery for a two stroke of that era. Enjoy and ride safe. Great find.
