Thanks, I appreciate that. I took it out today for a little shakedown cruise and everything seems to work and feel fine except for the steering which is a little too quick owing to a stem that is too short. Once I fix that and replace the heavy wheels it should be in good shape.

Thanks Scott, it is surprising how relevant the old girl is these days what with all the advancements in shock technology.

I had the bike out in the rain today and it was stellar.
