just picked it up a couple days ago so i havent been able to really ride yet. it does sound a little rough at low rpm and the previous owner said he never had the valves adjusted after the first service so i plan to do that before i really give it hell. most say these motors are noisy anyway so I'm sure it just needs a valve adjustment. as soon as i get it right I'm down to ride anytime. don't know anyplace around here but i was planning on going to durham town some time soon.
