The Transformation

Since getting back from Born Free #8, I've been riding "Dusty" around town a bit.  There have been a few issues but nothing serious.  All have been attended to.  The bike runs really well and even I can kick start it when I want.  It usually fires up after one or two kicks and settles into a typical Harley idle.  The transmission might need some work in the future as it is a bit "notchy" when down shifting.  Of course the fact that the shift pattern is reversed from the norm could be a factor.  All in all, "Dusty" is fun to ride and surprisingly comfortable.  It's really hard to believe that the bike was indeed just a pile of dirty parts just one year ago as the following picture will attest.  The transformation has been dramatic.
