The garage looks like a 50's service station right now, and the bike is in kit form.  Amazing how much work a few simple tasks can be when it comes to automotive.  The bike is getting new front and rear brake pads, oil changes for the engine, transmission and gear case, and a new front tire.  It helps to take off a bunch of things like seat and saddle bags to get access.  It's coming together.  And we're raring to ride.

Little Joe, my pet monkey, likes turning a wrench too.  He likes grease under his fingernails.  He's been in great spirits since he learned about the ride this fall.  Still have to get him a decent seat belt.
