So, I pulled into the motorcycle parking lot at work and was surprised to see a new resident.

What surprised me was that this bike is period correct. Back in the 70s, the king/queen seat, 3 foot sissy bar and those horrible buckhorn bars were pretty common mods on a UJM. Most of those classics that are still on the road have had those removed.
When i got inside, I noticed that one of my co-workers had a red, metal flake 3/4 helmet with a bubble shield. I knew I'd found the owner
Turns out he's owned this bike since the 70s and it had been stored in his time machine (garage) all these years. Seeing me show up for work everyday on my CBs inspired him to get it fixed up and back on the road. Nice to see another UJM in the parking area to make all those sportbike and V-twin cruiser owners jealous
