Hey guys, well its been a long time coming. after about two and a half years in the garage she's safetied, insured, plated and running like a top :bike:

My Dad and I went on our first ride together and it was awesome :D she pulled hard and had power to spare. plus I was surprised to learn she has self cancelling turn signals :laugh: never rode far enough with them activated before to find out.

Special thanks to everyone whose posted advice on here, from one problem to the next its been invaluable

Just dialing her in now, i figure my pilot is too big (47.5) because when I close the throttle at a stop if I don't blip it she will die, but hopefully the 45's should be in this week and solve that.

See you out there

That's a nice S50 the handsome "old guy" is riding.
I met a fellow at a gas station a few weeks ago with that exact bike. His kids had all chipped in and got it for him on his birthday. :eek:
You and your siblings perhaps? :D
