A few days ago I got this bike for free from a family member who found it at the local dump... someone threw it away! It hasn't been running in a year or 2.

Long story short my friend was being rough on the clutch spinning the rear wheel and popping wheelies. The rear sprocket mount broke!

Its missing a few parts, a bit dirty, and overall needing some love. This is my first project bike. Ive owned various dirt bikes in the past but that was before I got into working on cars, so this is a new experience for me. The plan is to just clean it up, make it look nice and maybe even get it road legal!
