This is my Tiger 2000. It was left outside, uncovered, and full of fuel for 5 years.Got it running after a month... Now I've challenged myself to get it ride ready and restored in 2 months.I'll post progress ...And there were tons of Mud Daubers living under every spot conceivable 7 nest in all .... You can just see the bike where it sat outside ( It' the blip in front of the shed in the back yard ) It had sunk into the ground 8", with dirt and grass over both tires. And Of Course A Pick of what I want it to look like

I used to have long hair, took acid and went to hip joints. Now I long for hair, take antacid and need a new hip joint
