She is complete! (I hope)
I haven't uploaded the pics yet but she's all back together and ready to roll. I need to come up with some cash to register and insure her, and then T is going to ride 'er around for a while to make sure the bugs are worked out.
Got my first drop out of the way too
Last Saturday I decided to shave the seat down, so I would shave a little, sit on the bike, shave a little, sit on the bike.
The foam under the cover was very rubbery and therefore kind of sticky.
Well...
I put the seat on to test it out, threw my right leg over... and got my crotch hung up on the foam!
She started to tip to the right and I kind of did this silly little dance on my right toe "oh shit oh shit oh shit oh shit..." - all the way to the ground
I couldn't slide my butt over on the seat enough to put my foot all the way down because of above mentioned crotch troubles.
Didn't hurt the bike a bit. My freshly painted exhaust was spared, and the frame slider in front held the rest of it off the ground. T came running around the corner to see my bike on its side and me giggling like an idiot!
So for those of you who are curious.... the seat shave was a success and bought me a little more than a 1/2"
Still can't flat foot it, but it definitely helped.
