For several years now, my dad has been slowly restoring his 64 sportster for me to take over. Last summer we had it repainted in the same blue color he painted it 40 years ago, and even found the same old style decals for the tank.

Right now it is almost put back together, just had a new battery and some other parts. He still hasn't started it yet, but he is very old and his knee is bad so I'm not even sure if he physically can kick the starter hard enough. He hasn't ridden this bike since the 90s; he gave up riding when my older siblings were born.
