      Yeah,,,doesnt it feel great to revive one of these monsters!!!! Some of us have had the same feeling when a neglected bike is revived, its like finding a new source of adrenaline, you feel like dancing around, shouting like a madman, telling the significant other you are the Man,,,,,a moment to cherish when the engine roars to life. Yeah, today you are the Man,,,,may the new beast be revived to its former glory and it will treat you like a dog you rescued from the dog pound,,,it will be loyal to you for life for rescuing it from death....anyway, may we all toast you and the revived beast of a bike.

        I know the feling, it took 2+ years for me to rivive my beast. I could have never ever done it without the help on this sight. This sight and the guys on it are the best there is, anywhere.
