With a little fine tuning, you and her will achieve private, then it's on to riding her and testing your and her limits, next thing ya know, you have achieved commercial with instruments. Good job Sarals and a great journey for you both.

Hey, Tic - thanks!!! I still have a way to go, I've just been around the pattern once. ;)

Soon, though!

I'm not stalling, honest, I'm not! I've had a full plate with upcoming holidays and work. I hope to get back to getting her ready for the road very soon. In the interim, I bought one of those Harbor Freight motorcycle lifts, which will REALLY help!

Merry Christmas to everyone!

lift

I have the same lift . for the money u cannot beat it. Use the safety bar at all times. I find it will loose a little loft overnight with weight on it.

Hi Sara, the lift is great, lift it up, put a little stool in front and work on. I have the same lift, and yes, use the safety bar to ensure the lift stays up. I forgot it once and came out the next morning, the the lift was on the ground with nose all the way down and the back up due to it hitting a can that I had undernieth the lift. Scary, could have ruined a lot of hard work.

Hey guys, thanks for the tips on that lift! I noticed that the instructions STRESSED using that safety bar, too! Thank you for reinforcing that!
