    I have an old motorbike engine
    35 years idle out in the open.
    No idea if it's seized.
    Was going to dump it .
    Any comments.

    I'd say someone could make a decent ornament out of it or might be of interest to rebuild for a resto.
    If you're in any motorbike groups on fb, throw it up there's always someone that'll snap it up

    Throw it up on Adverts.ie. There's always someone looking for these types of things.

    There's a 'Wanted' section in most categories including motorbikes.

    Try turning the sprocket to see if it seized.
