In June of 2006 I purchased a 1984 Honda Sabre V65 (VF1100S). It was in good shape, and I had a few good years on it. But then it mostly sat. And it hasn't been ridden driven, really, since 2013.

In Spring of 2025, my buddy (who knows much more about this stuff than I do) offered to take the bike to his place and help work on getting it running again.
