Doin' what you say you do

Yeah.

Well, in this case, it's not really a proud moment. However, true to our motto here at Mitchell Moto...

"There's never time to do it right, but there's always time to do it over."

So yeah, that's my new 37" braided stainless steel brake line. The one that should have been 31", as you can see.

But hey- a motto is a motto and I'm living the true life these days, so there ya go. Got a new one ordered and on the way, and now I have something to get excited about in these here pages and something to talk about! Let's all get excited about that!!

Anyway, enough of that nonsense. It's becoming fun to walk into the garage and dabble with small things and details. Now that the exhaust has been firmly established... there's less and less of a need to change into the old get-dirty jeans and wallow around on the floor like a fish out of water. So it's a little more civilized lately, standing or sitting on a stool and politely turning a wrench and smiling and saying "Good day" to passers by. I'm such a bad ass.

Front brake delay not-withstanding, the bike is coming along nicely.  Now that I've given myself an August 1st deadline to get her running in order to give up my garage rental, I really want to keep things moving. Yesterday was a fun day, though a little bit of a bummer. See, I had ordered 4 or 5 small things I needed, like lights, and mirrors... small stuff. But through the virtue of the USPS, they all arrived on the SAME DAY. Nothing like maybe spreading out the joy for at a least a few more; nope- all in the same day.

Still, that Merry Christmas To Me Day brought some smaller projects I can start with, like mounting the license plate (without a legal light- see above for bad ass statement) and the K&N air filter is here, though that will probably be mounted later since it's expensive enough I don't want it to get damaged while I'm throwing my next temper tantrum because something got ordered the wrong length...

Sometimes I amaze even myself.
