I rode it again... I frickin love my sporty.
Needed to get fresh gas and mix with seafoam, thing has sat for over a year. Will be dropping off at the dealer to get that oil filter mount fixed professionally for the sale of the bike.
...back story, the oul filter mount ripple is all sorts of messed up. I noticed it wen I was in there messing with the oil cooler. The lead tender lead also blew a 7.5a fuse at some point over the year... battery was flat and wouldn't charge. Bought a new battery. No worries, I will recoup on the sale..
Fixed...
To the gas station......
Checked pressures and oil, rolled it out to go get gas
Gas and fighting the ride all day urge
Road to lowes and walmart.... vicious little bike
Made it back home.... HAPPY... too bad its up for sale. It is too dang fun and fits me like a glove.

Been one hell of a year... ditching this bike was not a priority. Stabilizing life was the primary concern. The ship is just about righted.
