Finally got my bike registered for the road today. Club Rego, $128 for 90 days riding. Its taken just over a year for a full restopration, except for the motor and paint. Now for some fine tuning.

I will post later.

A leak in the petrol tank whilst sitting at the petrol station was a surprise discovery, and scared the hell out of me. It came out where the label attaches to the tank. I should of tested this before. Ever wondered about how much heat is required from a motor before leaking petrol catches fire ? Well I made it 3 miles, and I lived to ride again. I am on half a tank of juice now until the new tank arrives. I have stopped sweating now.

Take it easy, Steve, they get bad enough fuel economy as it is! Do you have another tank?
