Here she is. Mine, mine, mine!!
HWMBO rode it home, and dare I say, he has a new appreciation of the bike. He was surprised that at 3000rpm, she hits a whole other plane of performance. He found a straightaway on the way home and decided to open her up. He said he looked down and within about 2 seconds he was pushing 80! He said it surprised him a little.
He took it around back and goosed it and ended up with a decent wheelie! He's been riding for about 37 years so he knows how to make her go!
He won't admit it, but I think he likes her!
I rode it around for a while. In the background of the pics you'll see my practice area(125 paved acres w/ cones). Tomorrow I will put the good fuel tank on(that's my spare on it now)and give her a bath. It's filthy. No...really it is.
Not too bad, eh?
Wait til the cosmetics are addressed this winter-new paint w/ graphic; new lights front and back; saddlebags; custom fiberglass on the old Vetter.
So, how'd I do? I'm into the bike(s)for $1350 complete-Thanks Bikerphil. I expect to see your smiling face tomorrow after 2 pm. Call me or I'll call you.-From the rat I started with to this. I think I did pretty well!
