Default Just couldnt stand it anymore

My bike has been in pieces for awhile now (mid Dec). Weve had many nice days including today, sunny and 67. Finally got my rear tire mounted so I said **** on it......I wanna ride Put it together enough to get it on the road. The road I live on is a mile long twisty dead end street. Wires for the speedo and indicators hanging, bar bolted back on, slapped the seat on lit up a smoke and went, didnt even bother putting on a helmet. County sheriff lives on my street, wonder if he saw me? The first corner I got to I about **** my pants, those big meats want to keep that bike upright, you really have to grab those bars to get it to lean. Went up and down the street about 4 times.....them pipes sound sweet. Heres a few pics..........dont judge too harshly yet, still havent figured out a seat (other than it will be brown), my tank is out for paint (with the other things on the bike you may be able to guess what direction Im going with paint) and my bars wont be in for a week or two. Oh......and I havent finished my speedo relocate. Cant wait till everything is done........I wanna ride.
