I have about ten years time to keep saving for that event 

Well, this one's been waiting for 35.  I don't suggest waiting that long.  She married a cop and I failed miserably at rock stardom...

I see the marriage license fees can vary from as little as $10 to a whopping $115.

at least you know whom to punch when you get the next parking ticket..

We'll have to work on that some...AFTER I get done paying for a life changing event on 4-23...

You mentioned cams and such, don't remember seeing anything on your Yayhoo page about it.

Can you elaborate?

Not quite ready to announce yet, but it should be fairly soon.

Nope, he wasn't a bad guy.  I had worked with one of his brothers, a nephew and called on a store ran by a great niece for a while.  Small world, but we managed to be slightly unaware of each others presence for 30 of those years.

He passed late last year from the effects of early onset Alzheimer...

Very well.  Nice to have an option to the Brits...

Oh dear, sorry to hear that.

I have the Jehovah's witnesses throwing adds in my mail all the time which says "Why bad things happen to good people", maybe these guys should get punched.... and I have NO ADDS written on the mail box, really annoying additionally I have to subsidize them too so they can keep printing this blackmail sort of adds.

Hope I don't offend anybody on the forum.

Took mine in for it's 1st service..... once I'd re-attached the HT lead to the plug cap!
The local RE dealers are now fitting NGK plugs and caps at PDI. So mine will be treated to the same upgrade.

Black side panels are an interesting and traditional look.
(Perfect place for a gold ACE Fireball 535 sticker) 

I also like the dual seat with cowl, which has a very integrated fit and look.
Nice!

What?  There's a sticker?

There are stickers.
If you want some, you may have them.
 

Here's what they look like on an Ace Air Canister.

Gold on Black very nice combination, always think of the JPS Lotus F1 when I see it.

Unloaded it from my truck, got the registration papers and license plate, and started cleaning it up. 2014 model, 6680.2 miles on it.
Cleans up pretty nice!

I removed that black stripe made of Plasti-Dip, removed the K&N sticker and the Dynojet sticker, cleaned off most of the grunge and dirt and chain lube so far.
Still have to clean the engine.

Also, I will be ordering the white tank lettering that the previous owner peeled off. It doesn't look too bad with just "nfield", and it's a bit unique, but I think I would rather have it the way it was intended. So, I will order new letters.

This is the first time that I have really seen one of these bikes up close and personal. It has a very nice set of features and bits on it. The Excel rims and stainless spokes are really nice!
I like this bike!
 

Here's a pic after about an hour or two of cleaning so far.

[Otto_Ing]

Cool! Looks much better now! ... I thought the lettering is under the clear coat?

Apparently the lettering is applied while the clear coat is still soft, and there are imprints of the missing letters still in the clear coat. So, it is very easy to see where the replacement letters need to go. I think it will be no problem.

Going down to get some aluminum polish and some exhaust header paint to cover that grungy exhaust system.

So far, so good!
 

[ace.cafe]

Other side.
Exhaust system painted flat black with VHT Ceramic Header Paint.
I had options of flat black or dull silver, and I felt that the flat black would be the better choice because the dull silver wouldn't look like chrome anyway.

So, it is what it is. I had to do something with it because it was all scrubbed bare with ScotchBrite, and it was getting surface rust, and it just looked grungy.
I think it looks okay.
