Ken,
Great story and inspiring!
Mine isn't so bad yet seems to be taking a lifetime and is now costing me money >:(
But I didn't start this project to worry about cost (good job  :-/)

Looking forward to the next instalment

Aw jeez... Ken's now a published author. There'll be no living with him now. Let's all kneel and kiss the ring; get it over with and move on. ;D

Well played, Ken.

Ken,

Great job.  Very enjoyable read and fantastic job on getting the bike in such great shape and back on the road rolling ... where it belongs.  You and this bike have come quite a distance together.  Congratulations.

-Mike V.

Thanks, Guys

Got a call from Vince Winkel, Editor of BMW MOA - thought it might be a job offer to earn a nice salary as a motorcycle reviewer - dream on!

He asked me to send more "After" pictures of Tina.  Shot some today and hoping to get a ride in with my 22 year old son who just picked up his first bike, against my suggestion >>> a CBR 960 - bumble bee yellow!!!  

If weather cooperates, hoping to ride down to Judson Cycle where the magic of getting Tina running was accomplished.  Hoping for a father/son shot of Shiny Red Tina next to Yellow Honda!
