Nice job! It's heartening to see someone your age take an interest in these "old bikes", especially ones that aren't well known to the general public.
It always amazes me when I run across younger people that are interested in the same things I am. I've been retired since 2004 and only then did I resurrect my passion for Bridgestones after buying a new '69 100GP in my youth. Your write-up was very interesting and well written. My guess is that you are well on your way to fulfilling all your goals in life.By the way, what did you do about the "scratches" in the lining of the cylinder?
What is the significance of the GM and Bulldog on your mortarboard?

Yet, after I had already put the money into rebuilding the cranshafy and new seals and pistons and rings, I wanted to make sure the bike would survive and be reliable. I ended up taking the cylinders to my local ORV dealership/repair shop and had them sent out and nikasil coated, which is more durable than the original chrome coating in the cylinders.
