Many bikes don't have much in the serial number to decode. Some models of the old Schwinn's use to encode a lot into the number. Sometimes it's not much more than a number off the assemble line. Though yours might have date and location of manufacture. It'd be nice if you told us what brand of bike it is and anything you can read on the frame.

If this is an old bike from the 90's or prior, then the Classic & Vintage will probably have someone that can tell you something about it if you post some pics. Being a noob to BF, you'll have to just upload them to the Gallery here on BF and then let people know they are there. If the group set components on the bike are mostly original then others will have a good idea what the date of the bike as well as what model it is you have.

Welcome to BF.

PS... please don't shout.

Helpful tips for the forum. Don't use a lot of caps lock as it is found as yelling on most online forums. If you are looking to post pictures and get info get involved with the forums get 10 posts in the many active threads going on in the many active sub-forums that exists and you can easily post pictures yourself as well as links and you are getting usage out of the time it took to create an account and post rather than just using this more as a search engine.

In terms of the bike it looks like a pretty low budget cruiser. If it is functional or can be made functional for little to no money then ride it into the ground and if not don't worry and just let it go.

What are you "trying to deal with?". Bike SN#s aren't like VINs; there's very little information there: production date, maybe; and sometimes frame size, though that's pretty uncommon.
Unless you're dealing with a particularly rare or historically significant bike, SN#s don't make much difference.

If you're trying to find parts; it's not like cars, where you need to know that you have a 1998 Honda Accord LX with a 4-cyl and an automatic transmission.
Bike parts are fairly standardized*. For example; you don't need to find a chain for a 1987 Huffy Cranbrook; you need a chain for a single -speed with a coaster brake. All single -speed bikes use the same size chain, regardless of who's sticker is on the frame.
Same goes for pretty much every part on a given bike.

Yep, is what it is. Actual brand, model, year of mfg etc is irrelevant.

The gold rattle can paint job is pretty awesome though.
