Ha! Yes, when I picked it up most of the driveline was covered with a nice layer of hardened yellow. Everything turned out surprisingly well - hardly any wear. The previous owner said it was only ridden a few hundred miles then stuck away in the garage. He only “rediscovered” it because he’s moving. I haven’t ridden it yet as I’d already heard crunchy bearings in the back.
