Let's get this board going!

Given to me by a friend's dad, he put the bike in the barn when they started having kids about 25 years ago. When they decided to move to Texas the bike had to go somewhere and they knew I liked old bikes.

Just put in my final order with Reproduction Decals, right in time for the Canada Post strike, so we'll see what happens there.

I used 91 octane this time and the knocking/tapping I heard from the left cylinder last time is gone. The wife is leaving town tomorrow for her birthday which should hopefully give me time to repair the seat pan. I'll be in Arizona next week for a few days, I might be able to ride this thing by the 4th. We'll see!

Seat, headlight, and tires. The last two are on their way, I have everything I need to finish the first. The only variable here is available time...
