Here is a quick peek at the lid I'll be sporting this season. Yeah, it's bad ass!

Well, here is a quick update. The transport has new wheels and tires. Just a few more little things to fix and maybe, just maybe we'll be good. So here are the pics. Oh and there was progress on the Hawk today also. WOOOHOOOO!!!! The bars are completely disassembled. The new bars and levers are out getting powdercoated. Now I even now what length of brake line I need for the front. There will be pics of that stuff later. For now, here's the truck.

Wow. What seemed like what would be a lifetime is now something that is staring us right in the face. It's March, and there are 60+ degree days in the forcast. Yeah, it's still gonna be cold but you can just sense the riding season approaching. Maybe the fact that I haven't even loosened one bolt on the Hawk yet has something to do with the "OH MY GOD, I'M RUNNING OUT OF TIME" feelings I'm having.

So here is the good news. The clip-ons and levers are going for powdercoating friday. I will be placing orders for some other goodies by thursday. Hoping to be able to get my shock done this weekend. Bottomline, I have to make some huge progress this week.

Having the bike ready for the road being job #1, I haven't even began to think about all the little things that have to be done to have your bike ready for the track. Safety wiring nuts and bolts, replacing coolant and hopefully new tires is the minimum. Those are only the ones I know about right now, I'm sure there are more.

This is getting fun, isn't it.



Here's to sunny days and winding roads!
