Actually, I did fall down the stairs when I was really little, broke my nose, and knocked myself out.  My mom says it was my dad's fault......don't remember it though.  ???

Ron, you have been working so hard, you should reward yourself with an excellent ride!!!!!!!!

Sounds great!!  What do you have in mind?  :-*

I did a little test loop through southeast Lancaster, out to the airport and back.  I can't find anything missing yet, so that's a good sign.  It ran pretty good and the brakes stopped me okay.  The forks felt good.  I lowered the front end 1.0 mm when I installed the forks just to play with the handling, and that felt pretty good so far for a leisurely ride.

One thing that was weird.  I filled up the tank before I left (not completely but close) and rolled it into the driveway to start it.  After a few minutes, while I was getting my gear on, gas started pouring out the internal tank vent drain tube.  I opened the tank cap and it kept flowing.  It finally stopped for some reason.  Never had that happen with this bike, hope it doesn't become a habit.
