Tomorrow I should actually get it on the road. I spent the weekend taking the MSF basic riders course, so tomorrow I can go get my endorsement. I can't say enough good things about the MSF class. While I am sure that I could have successfully made the bike move down the road, I feel like I have a far better chance of not killing myself.
I don't know how long I'll be hang on to the bike. If I do decide to hang on to it for more than a year or so I want to build a cafe racer styled bike styled after to one in the American version of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. LED turn signals and taillamp, HID headlamp and a better charging system are also on the list for better nighttime visibility and less load on the electrical system. Till then, I am just cleaning, painting, and fixing little things. I still need to learn more about working on and riding motorcycles, so stock and simple for now. Also, I plan on following Slim's recommendation about finding a riding school to work on becoming a better rider.
