    So I'm in my garage moving stuff around to get my hotrod off the lift to send to the paint shop, among the stuff is my Turbo "parts" bike, which I bought for cheap money off Craigslist as a "1982 Seca Turbo 650 Parts Bike". Well its been sitting in the garage untouched since I bought it, today as I'm rolling her around, I notice the tank is an 83, I knew the decals were 83 but I figured someone just swapped them at some point, I got more curious and check the sticker on the frame, sure enough exact same build date as my 83 that I bought the parts bike to fix!

    Crap now I need another "parts bike" to fix the parts bike! LoL

    Yeah...
    The $300 "Parts Bike" I bought a few years ago was visually better than my bike (mostly) but didn't run (carbs and battery most likely).
    Some day I'll get the "parts bike" running and need another bike for spare parts. :)
