great story, bro. Tell it again.

Such a good feeling when you get the machine working (doesn't mayer what kind of machine: bike, car, clothes dryer, computer, typewriter). Taking that first test drive... All senses firing, listening, smelling, feeling, and my favorite: the view from the front seat of a motorbike. No cage, no visits, no air bags, no seat belts... It blew my mind when I got my cb750 tuning the first time, and that test ride after 30+ years. Still gives me shudders.

Congratulations on getting it going. Now it's time to make it reliable, which means checking all the systems, and finding a good confection for parts and stuff. And making it pretty, of course.
