Congratulations  [clap]. I'm driving through Georgia right now. I wish I was riding my motorcycle instead of riding in the minivan full of kids. I'd love to take a detour and check it out up close.  Seriously good work. You have lot of perseverance.

Thanks Tman!

It was a long journey with a ton of things that happened that shouldn't have.....but hell it's worth it  [thumbsup]

Speaking of a minivan, we took ours (aka "the dream crusher") up to NE last week.  I'm not a long distance driver, but 15 hours went by pretty quick in that thing.  I'd never attempt a journey like that with wife, one kid and a mom in a car.

I think it's time to sell this thing..... :-[

Are you going to part it out and take it back to stock or sell it as is?  It is hard to let bikes go, but the more you do it generally the easier it gets.

Are you riding something else lately?

And then it was gone :(

If I look back at the journey building it and the good times/fun I had it was worth it.  If I look at the bottom line it makes me a bit ill.

Monster-less...hopefully you will let me hang around anyway.

They let me stay ;)

You knew going into a build like that that you weren't going to get all your money back out of it.  The value is in the time spent with the project.

I prefer NOT to count the $ when building one of my own bikes.

Yes, you can hang-out...  I officially 'OK' it.
