Beatin down sweetheart

My poor "little" 441 Victor, has taken a year of hard ass abuse. more than any new moto bike ive ever riddin or raced, after my diaper party last month she came out with 2 flats,blown out front wheel, no clutch left, a dirty carb and the poor girl doesnt even wanna start now(but still tries breaking you F'n leg).... so its time to give her a 100% rebuild and prep her for some vintage moto and desert races! next summer is gunna rule on my good ol thumper.
