      Hey Bill,
      Why not just ride the yellow bike? Paint looks a bit worn but who cares?

        I have a title with notes from two previous owners. Not sure what it will take to get it registered. Probably around three bills.
        I was only going to use it at the track.

          Wax melts. That was my hint.

              Why not transfer the license plate from the L.

                    Bill,

                    Your work ethic puts most of us to shame here. You are an engine rebuilding/swapping animal.

                          Got up at 5:30am and headed to the mountains to get the motor out of the ED. Got home with an engine in the trunk around 11:30. Swapped oil pans and drilled out a broken exhaust bolt.
                          Got the motor in and running before dark.
                          Will ride it to work tomorrow.
                          Final tuning of the carbs and I'm good to go.
                          Will post pics of the hybrid tomorrow.
