I don't wanna be the sour grape, but I hope it's a very very good friend and not someone that's just going to take the bike back after you do all the work and spend all the $$ to get it running again. Hopefully it just needs oil and gas change and carb cleaning and not new battery and tires etc. Other than that I would say good deal and ride safe. If this is your first bike taking the BRC course is always a good idea.
