Default Been busy

Well I decided to drop in and say hi. I have stripped down the shovel for paint. Of cousre it didn't stop there. Ended up adding a little more muscle to the engine. Then of I couldn't leave the tranny out either. So she'll be a brand new bike again. The frame is stripped, bondo, and primer. I'm painting it new week. I'm going with blaze red crystal with a touch of pearl. Heres a pic of what it used to look like which some of you have seen, what it looks like now, and as soon as its done I'll post more pictures. You guys keep it on 2 wheels. Got to get back to work.
