Today was awesome. I took my first ride on the zilla. Finally got around to pulling it out of the garage and firing it up after winter! It was a **** to kick over at first but when it did, it roared to life. I shut it don, let it cool and did it again. This time I was able to get run at an idle. It purred.  Tonight I fired it up again and took it for a ride. No plastics or seat, I just sat on the frame and took off. I couldn't wait any longer! This has been 14 months in the making. Gonna take it down to sand lake here in a couple of weeks.

I still need to bleed the brakes, and hook some lights up. Almost there! New exhaust would be nice, but he fmf will have to do for now.
