Paul, for the record, I can't take any credit for fixing my bike up, I just bought a few weeks ago and she came to me well maintained by the previous owner. Actually I'm no sure how much I'll be working on it since my time is very compressed, full time job, kids and two other passions, my painting and my music, so for the most part I'll be leaving the maintenance of my girl to experienced mechanics. I hope that doesn't make me look like a wuss to all of you hard core mechs. As time goes on I'll make the time to learn how to perform at least the basic stuff, until then I just want kick that starter and ride as much as possible. Keith, yeah I doubt of those Harley riders will give me the wave, since I am riding non-American bike and I do will wear all of my protective gear even though it's blazing hot in Atlanta now, better hot than hurt!
