Sounds like your about 1/2 way there, that is the 1K inspection. Nothing like cool weather for those first miles.

Even I got out today, had to ride through 12 feet of swamp to get to the Alley but i did it, rode 180 miles with my brother, he had a big bore kit installed this winter and we are in the process of breaking it in slowly.Well it was a good excuse [sm=biker.gif][sm=icon_rofl.gif]
