1978 Honda Hawk CB400T1 First Start in 20 Months

My 1978 Honda Hawk CB400T1 Has had some time off for the past 20 months. It's finally in the low 50's so I changed the oil, removed the battery tender, and setup the camera. Here is what the first startup is like with a vintage motorcycle.

This is the exact bike I had, color also. I loved this bike. I rode it for about four years, after which I ended up getting a divorce which meant I could no longer store it inside. It developed some kind of esoteric mechanical problem. At this point, I gave it back to the dealer from which I bought it. They fixed it and someone else rode it until they "threw a rod" and ended its life. I loved this bike.
