I purchased this bike 10 years ago with the intention of riding it.

The tires, brake lines and battery were changed at this time in preparation for the street. Because of it's pristine condition, I decided not to ride the bike. Instead I purchased another 79 Daytona Special and rode that RD instead. This bike runs perfectly! Original condition
