Bailout


So I finally got my bike out of impound yesterday. It cost me $530 that I don't have... 270 of that was just for the towing.... It then ran out of gas upon trying to start it up to get it in the truck bed, fell over in the truck bed spilling its oil everywhere, broke down when I decided I was going to ride it home with Tanr on my tail... But at least I have it back. So now starts the process of fixing whatever is wrong with the throttle system, probably re cleaning my carbs, overhauling my front forks, resealing one of the cylinders, buying new tires (I'm gonna pay someone to put those on, not in my realm of knowledge), changing both the motor oil and the drive shaft oil, taking off the rear rack, replacing all the turn signals, buying and putting on clubman bars, replacing all the cables, buying and installing a vintage front fairing and trying to make it into a respectable cafe racer... It's going to be a busy winter.
