My First Bridgestone

[timsweet]

Hello

I've purchased a 1965 Bridgestone Dual Twin.  Even though it's in pretty rough shape I'm looking forward to working on it.

I'm going to have a lot of questions as this will be my first motor cycle I've restored and of course this one is a bit unique.

I'll look over the topics and start posting.

Thanks

 Good a place to start as any Tim. At least it looks relatively complete, (minus the Schwinn grip of course!)  Thanks, Mark.

It looks sweet Tim, especially compared to my GTR. My first bike was a Dual Twin. Have fun. Oh, nice job Ray, wish you were closer so you could help me on my bike that's almost GTR'd (Gone To Rest).
