Numbers matching with title 1969 R 69S that was last ridden in 1975, not a lot of money to move it to a good home. The pictures and information showed a bike that was dismantled by the original owner in 1975 after a minor crash, apparently he wanted to repaint the bike. I heard about it and had to go take a look after I saw the bike was mostly there, had a clear title and had a good price attached so I took it home.
Needless to say my offer was accepted and the bike (if you could call it that) was loaded and hauled home. Are you out there Vech? I have in my shop now an extreme example of what happens when the slingers no longer sling oil and the rider runs it like he stole it. I have been at the dismantle for a couple weeks of spare time and almost have the motor apart, chassis is fine except for some fresh paint but one thing I have determined is regular service was neglected and caused a big problem.
I will get around to posting some pictures and adventures in the restoration but I have to warn the interested I am no Brooke Reams so be patient and understanding.
