Congrats 🎊 on the wedding Dave.

Its actually very cool and fun to drive, i bought it to sell im not much of a bike guy but this thing was just to cool not to own for a little bit :cool: HotRod mag did a six page spread on it. Things a blast im doing some fine tuning and minor suspension adjustments and then she's for sale . . . . cheaper then ya think
