Indeed. Hopefully this week.
This is some of the 9yr old gas/tea/varnish. Particle free though, and I can't see a spec of rust inside the tank.View attachment 73920

How's the petcock holding up?
Mine has a slow leak and needs a rebuild/replacement

There was about 2L of leftover gas that I removed today, and the petcock was bone dry, and operational.
Tomorrow.....the gas tank gets a soapy bath, rinse and an isopropyl rinse.

My bargain find… not a bike, but a bargain.

$1000 Certified. Not a spec of rust under or on body. Mechanic that did the safety offered me $5k.

Didn’t need it, but it’s going to be a good winter beater.

The Hawk is a bad example since it was overbuilt/underpowered at 647cc and 45 HP. You can get a reliable 70 HP (at the wheels), but much more than that results in a broken (stock) crank and/or rods.

Shhh, my two 50 horsepower 650cc G650GS' might hear you!!
