Wow, the bike is coming along nicely! How are the bumps and bruises? Better, I hope.

Took the new old gal for a test ride. Been two weeks since the fateful day, so thats not bad. All went well, the new grips are awesome. Feels like a new bike. Also, I think new chrome adds horse power, doesnt it?  |

LOL.....thanks Steve, that is a big compliment. cleaning is very important, but nothing beats NEW CHROME!!!!!!!! Im still amazed that a 700and sumpthin # bike can be thrown to the ground and slide in gravel and not mess up one tin! There is one new hair sized scratch in the paint on the tank, but I can live with it! |

Today was the first day of spring  down here after suffering through Wisconsin kind of cold the last couple weeks! I think I'll have to crank my babe up in the morning. Glad Judy is coming along and I'm sure she brightens your day like chromium. |

Sorry to hear you went down, Jeff! I hope it wasn't too serious...
The old two tone looks great! I hope you are well!

I think you will keep that 1% in a safe place just in case you need it later, never can have too much chrome and you may just find something else you need. Lookin good, well better than it did before the crash. Nice job. Heal and ride. HOZ
