Great day!
« on: January 06, 2012, 02:20:04 PM »
Between college, everyday life, two years of work, and more tribulations than I care to think about...It's alive!









I can't thank everyone on this board enough. This is my first motorcycle; I bought it two years ago. You guys helped me get it running nice then. I decided to go the cafe route, and the help here kept me capable and excited. Thanks!
Cheers

Thanks guys!

Luckily, I live in Charlotte now. Pops just bought a new Triumph Street Triple R today and plans to bring that and my K7 down to visit Charlotte soon for some twisty fun around Lake Norman. The southern winter is at least bareable for some riding!

Great job on that 77. I went with the F side covers to tuck in more without the airbox.
