Default RE: Introduction and 73 XLCH ???

Wahoo! Thanks to all the help from Blake (piniongear) I fired my old beast off today! There's no clutch or throttle cable and needs a ton of other work before I can ride her, but man it was sweet music to my ears to hear it fire even if it was only for a few seconds each time! My 69 year old mother was rushed to emergency yesterday and into surgery, it turned out that she need her gaul bladder removed and was not as serious as we first thought. Anyway, after spending all night in the hospital with her, I needed a lift and this was it. [sm=coolness.gif]

Thanks again for all your time, patience and advice, Blake! Your the best! [sm=hail.gif]

Have a great, safe memorial day weekend everyone! [sm=americanasmiley.gif] [sm=biker2.gif]
