Looks like today is the day of first (re)starts...

Unfortunately my camera mic can't handle this degree of awesome.

Yeah, it did my soul good to hear it bark to life again after almost 11 months.

Thanks guys! It sounds so much better in person. I need to figure out how to make a recording with my good USB mic and the computer.

It should be even cooler after I get the cams installed.

Glad to see you got it mainly in 1 piece, and running again! At this rate you'll have it done, and riding again shortly. Nice work Chris!

Thanks. I figure I've a month or two yet. This last week or two was mostly just ticking off the pre-work boxes. After tumbling **** over tail a few times, I wanted to make sure it went together, started, and ran normally before I made any changes. ...shortcut the troubleshooting chain...should any planned upgrades cause issues.

This week I hope to:
Get the tank to the stripper.
Get the bike stripped back down to the frame & drivetrain.
Get some drawings to Chris at Redtail Leather for a custom seat pan.
Start cutting apart the wiring harness.
Get some more weight measurements.
Maybe start fabbing the air cleaner.
