Day 1: It Begins. Photos, Video, Description


Here she is, just as I rode her home this evening in the rain, which I've come to accept as tradition.  I have ridden almost every bike I've owned home in either rain or cold (or both).  It actually rode home surprisingly well and was fairly enjoyable, even in the rain.  Rear suspension, and probably front also, seemed very soft.  It ran pretty good once warmed up, but tended to linger a bit when revved up and not in gear.  Something seems odd  about the handlebars, like the might be slightly bent to the right.  The saddlebags are brand new and the seat among other components are in outstanding condition.  They are of no use to me on the bike, but could be worth something to someone else and I'll probably sell all those pieces.  

Here's a short video of the bike as we start this process.  Video includes running motor:
