The first obstacle won

Well that was fun.

Now in the grand scheme of things along this build journey, this will not be the last thing and this is certainly not the biggest deal either.  Still, it's an obstacle. Went to get the bike titled in my name and registered and pay my taxes to the good universe of governing bodies...

Fail.

Well, actually not failed. But since it's apparently a salvage title (didn't realize this at first) I had to have the bike inspected to be considered road-worthy and all that (I wonder if they have a 'chicks-dig-it' test in that process...), and I didn't have the bike with me at that time so wasn't successful. Which is probably a better way to look at it; not fail, just have to go back. And again, not a big deal.

I think mostly I'm just a little bit bummed I won't be tearing into it as much this weekend as I had planned earlier. Since it's seems more prudent to get the bike titled while it's still (?) functioning and all the signals and beeps work. And of course they're not open on the weekend. 'Cause that would just be too easy.

Still, I now can chill a bit, go a little slower this weekend (like that's ever worked for anyone to think through things before tearing them apart!), get the garage space setup and the mini-fridge full of Guinness and the pin-up calendar on the wall and the tool box rolled into position for battle.

And I am quite excited to fire the first shot soon.
