Great looking "old school" bike, especially in Black.

It's pretty old school. Single cylinder 650. They produced it essentially unchanged from 1986 to 2019.

Totally. But I need to clean the carburetor out before I can ride it. It is sputtery from evil ethanol.

Now you'll just need to fabricate a sidecar and you'll be all set to ride in the snowy weather...

Good, thank you.


Very busy at my new job, so not as much around as I prefer, unfortunately!

I'm not sure if I can ride SAVAGE like that. I'm a little rusty.

I have already collected a pile of SAVAGE parts.
Carb rebuild kit
Petcock
Fuel lines
Oil, fuel and air filters
Oil
Tool bag

And the most exciting thing:
New handlebars

Oh, and I went to the DMV and got the plate already. Got into a yelling match with the DMV security guard while I was there because he said I was driving too fast in my Jeep. Well, the rear end is locked so the tires chirp, dumbfuck , but I got it done.
So excited to ride. Don't even care if it's winter.

I haven't had a motorcycle since I bought my last house in 2015. I'm fucking noob now. Damn.

Always liked that bike. They can be modified into a real beauty, you know.

I've seen that cafe kit before. I mostly like SAVAGE the way it is. I just got some straighter handlebars because I don't like the swept back chopper ones.
