Hi Scadoodle,

I have not rode the bike since last post, still on job site here in Dothan until Turkey day at least. I sure do miss the days I could have been riding but know I will be back soon and will have most of December to put on the miles to finish the break in and ride more afterwards.

At least we are in a place where we can ride most year round, I put mine in the shop last week, still don't have it back. I've gone threw depression and ready for therapy now. I hope it's out for the week end. I just don't like driving cars.

That's AWESOME!! cheers

Not on the chain needing adjustment but you making the ride. I can't wait to see your bike.

Miss G, I will be meeting up with the group here in Gulf shores at the oyster bar, need to adjust the chain correctly & I have to come back here after the ride ends anyway. Looking forward to seeing your bike also tomorrow.

Shovel is running good added another 100+ miles today, the new cometic seals are finally beginning to seal. Just some fine tuning required for top performance out of the engine.
