Asked him why he wasn't riding it and where he got it from.
Long story short, he bought it because he had previously owned an XJ
and had intended to restore it but stopped for some mysterious reason.
Now to how I got it. My buddy owed me money and I knew he didn't have it so I
brought up the idea of giving me the bike; done deal.
Now it was in pretty bad condition and not running
(Though my buddy said when he got it, it started for a couple seconds and then choked out).
But being an eager engineer, it was no problem, I was up to the challenge.
Here she is! No name for her yet.

And then it got better...
