Not actually ready to ride yet but it will be. I trailered that bike to the LAST M.O.M. rally at John an Kats house. Just before the banning.
It'll be a good tourer though. Paypal is being a PITA tonight for some reason though.
Yes Nate, this will be my first ridable standard. I'm kinda exited to see how it is.Greg

If its anything like Rising Sun was its a kick in the pants the later years have trouble matching.
Glad it found an appreciative new owner.

Well hope it was enjoyable.
One more year above ground is better than the alternative.
We'll get you a Moon Pie with a candle at XSSE.

If I wasnt already committed to this rally i would not go...and it is highly likely that this is the last one I'll be attending...short of hitting the lottery I'll be staying much closer to home.
