On the Road Again!

Beside the ride

So, the bike is on the road. While I had great plans to restore the bike myself, that just never happened, nor do I think it would have ever happened. So, a bit over a month ago, I trailered the bike off to a guys shop in Dundee, OR to get it running. A month and a decent sized number on a check, and it's back alive. Not perfect, as it has some transmission issues, and could be beautified a bit more, but she runs pretty well.

I've taken Meggie to dinner and a BBQ on the back of it. She didn't die, and I think she even had a bit of fun. You can read her version of it here. At the BBQ, I got to take Meg's sister and girlfriend for rides. The first ever for Liz, and I think Cait too!

It's been fun riding out to the airfield to go flying on it. So Top Gun :)

UPDATE: I filled her up with her second tank, so I could check mileage for the first time. 38.2 MPG! More than twice that of my FJ!
