Oh wow....totally cool!

I've been really toying with the idea of buying an older bike like this, or a cafe racer type dealy, to ride on the street.

Can't wait to see the progress.

Let me know if you need any aftermarket custom help. I may have a guy for things...

Such as that seat you're talking about... I have a guy in michigan taht can do any leather, inlays, etc. Then a different guy in Jersey that will do custom tooled leather.

Does she ride now?

Not sure I would've wanted it ages ago...but now that I'm more track than street I want something that I won't lose my license on for the street. Something that's a conversation piece and that'll make me smile when I ride it.

She knows how to, we had been slowly building her familiarity before I sold the 450. Trying to find an inexpensive replacement that she likes which will suit her better. So far she's pretty fond of savages
