I don't have any illusions about this machine being road ready for long trips, and I hope everything doesn't go wrong at once as I try to address the obvious problems.  But the charging system seemed healthy,  the rad fan cycled on and off as I left it parked and running, and no weeping from the water pump.  Fired right up cold, and again hot.  Basic stuff like fork seals, progressive springs, caliper and master cylinder rebuilds will keep me busy for a while, and then we'll see what happens when I start pushing it up the mountain.  I know the worse thing for these old wings is to not run them, and this one has averaged barely 300 miles per year.
