Not entirely aure about current historic tags here in Florida but when I
looked into it a few years back vehicles with historic tags were only
allowed to be ridden for events, parades and such and were limited to
just a few miles posted on the odo. Of course monitoring that might be
difficult but it didn't seem worth the effort. Friend of mine has an old
HD flathead with "Horseless carriage" tags. That's pretty cool.
Florida's inspections are by county. Only the counties with large
populations have inspections. Not mine. I bought my Eldo in N.Carolina
and it had a 1982 Georgia inspection tag on it, Georgia title. I'm
guessing it hadn't been ridden in a very long time and was a mess from
that. Crank sludge trap was hard as a rock. Low end bearings were junk
from sitting but crank measurements allowed replacement bearings at
stock specs, even after polishing.
Began rebuilding brakes last night. That third hand was necessary. Not
too bad after that. New shoes and springs. Cleaned up bolts and cams. I
used a tiny amount of disc brake grease on each moving metal part. Any
opinions about that? Seemed a bad idea to assemble dry. Will use
anti-seize on splines.

I love it here in Ohio, although they recently reduced the historic plate renewal time from once every 99 years to every 50 years, the bastards! Just fill out the form and send it in with a check. Buy it once, attach, forget about it. Every bike I own has an historic tag, haven't run current ones for about 20 years. John Prusnek http://myweb.core.com/photos/spajohn@raex.com/MotoGuzziDecals
