after months of working on my '99 350 bullet, we are finally up and running! (i named my royal "Carlotta" after a very cantankerous but loveable old italian woman i used to know)
after sweating over the timing, compression leaks, carb setting, two tire blowouts, electrical problems!!! and all the other minor headaches, we're on the road!

i had a blast today and put about twenty miles on my pain and joy, and i couldn't have done most of it without you guys
i'm going to change the oil again, and get ridin' again very soon

so i just want to say thanks to such a great community and to all the classic dudes that keep this place runnin'

WHOOO YEAH

TWO tire blowouts?  Scaring the crap out of me.  Old tires or something?
All hail Sir Lucas, Prince of Darkness.

I never do feel right until i spill some blood working on a vehicle.....part of the bonding process i guess!

Nothing major with the RE yet besides squashing my hand between it and the door rolling it out of the garage.....but the night is young!
