Glad to hear the bike is back to its original glory. Sounds like you're all healed up too. Just in time for the great weather.

Have fun, and try to keep the rubber side down, this time. ;)

Just finished traffic school here in CA for an 85 in 65 ticket. $386 + $25.90 for online traffic school. Pricey moment of indiscretion.
