    Hi guys,

    I just got a '84 VF500F at my local motorcycle dealer's auction for $200! It looked pretty good cosmetically and said it needed carb and fuel system work so I picked it up. After tinkering with it for a little it fired up off of carb cleaner. I'm going to clean up the carbs and get some new fuel lines for it and hopefully it will be back in its prime. Its snowing pretty well in Maryland right now so pictures will have to wait till its sunny :frown:

    I intended to buy it to ride while I work on my other bike and then sell it, but it just looks so cool I think I may have to keep it
