But, after running a bit and giving her a MAJOR cleaning and shining, it turned out pretty good! Runs great, drives great, and looks great (to me).

Had to laugh though, right after we left, my girl was driving it home (an hour drive in a car, about 1.5 hours on the bike) and it just quit running like 2 min after we left....dang! But, then I realized it was low on gas, so I switched it to reserve and it started right back up! Filled it up at the gas station and it was just fine! Just needed some gas! I was also worried cause she said it kept losing power on the interstate, but i noticed she only slowed down when going up hill, so I am guessing she just didn't know she needed to downshift, lol. I decided to just not tell her, didn't want her to get mad that i was telling her what to do....she has been riding longer than me (though I have more experience with shifting in a car, and its about the same on a bike).
