Default What a HOOT!!

Well, I finally got the clutch and tank shifter on this morning. I went out for a test ride and it was a friggin' hoot. I felt like I was in the 1940s, watching my two uncles riding their H-D and Indian. It was worth all the wait (I think).

Not much of a learning curve (stalled it twice) and I really didn't have any problems, once I got the clutch adjusted. Kinda cold here today so I'll wait on taking a long ride, since it's suppose to be real nice tommorow.

I'll take my camera tommorow and submit some photos.

I also got my axel parts and 40s style front springer fender yesterday, but that's another story.
