Sorry about the delayed response, I just got back from Wyoming--which is 1 antelope and several dozen prairie dogs less now.
Guys, thanks for all the kind words. Makes the work worthwhile--even though riding season is nearly over here for the year.
Tim, yeah--the left kick is a little goofy, but thank goodness for the electric start.
I have already had a few "what is it?" and "how old?" questions--which makes me think I am going to leave the badges off the tank. I really, really like this bike.
