Running away

Not much to report from a build standpoint. I did go see her last night, just to confirm a couple things I had floating in my head. plus, I ordered some new fuel and vent lines for the tank and wanted to confirm those sizes were correct. Which per usual, half were and half were not. I was able to call them up and correct the order so that's good. All the right stuff coming in the mail is always a good thing.

I did however, upon rolling her out into the setting sun last night, discover a little boo-boo. And no, not from the Yogi Bear Show... It would seem the epoxy used to adhere the Fury emblem on one side had a little drip, which I didn't notice at the time.



Now, well you can imagine it's hardened to the point of permanency, so to get rid of that will entail getting the actual emblem removed- which will be impossible without destroying it, then sanding the tank once again, painting & striping it once again, buying new emblems, etc.... So, even though I'm pretty cheesed at this discovery, I think I'm gonna have to live with it for now.

And be a little more careful or at the very least, stick around in that hot garage long enough to make sure there aren't any drips before scurrying off to the security and cool apartment interior.

As I've said- let's get her running again... a new tank paint project can always be in the future.

 For now, the present, let's make some noise, shall we?
