Well, I sold the bike tonight, went to a good home in Calgary. Funny how a bike looks even better in the back of somebody else's truck as it drives away. I'll not likely ever have another as nice as that.
I can tell you it looks pretty damn good in my garage. :)
I took it for a short ride yesterday and not only is it the best looking RD I have ever owned, it is the best handling RD I have owned. You did a bloody nice job on the restoration and I am honored to be the one to benefit from what was likely a great deal of hard work on your part. :D
The bike will be ridden and loved and appreciated for many years to come.

I have put a little over 1000 kms on the bike since buying it 8 weeks ago. The more I ride it the more I love it. The bike gets tons of attention where ever I go and I have had 4 offers to buy it already. Dot worry though it's not going anywhere though. :)
The cool thin about a bike like this is that it feels so much more exciting to ride than a modern sportbike at lower speeds. It feels more like a bike should. It has character and it needs love to keep it going. Modern sportbikes have none of that.
