Default And it begins.......................

I have now owned the Vegas for a week and I do love it but........................ I don't LOVE it until I make it my own.

I started the tear down on Tuesday evening. I have removed all the turn signals along with the rear license plate holder. I also have installed Ness drag bars, Ness levers along with risers.

I removed all of the tin and delivered the parts to Lisa at Autos2NV.

Tonight Ron helped me remove the wheels. The front was a breeze. The rear wheel bolt was somewhat stuck. After beating on it for a bit it decided to give in.

Here is what I have in mind:

Flat Black base with gloss graphics on the tank, front and rear fender.
Gloss Victory logo on tank (painted)
Gloss black wheels

Should have it all back together in a few weeks. Here is her current state.

Sweet. When you get her done, it should look great in a Craigslist ad!

I'm starting to get the impression that when you older you'll be able to say,"Yeah, I had one of those..." except you'll be able to say that ALL THE TIME! hahaha

How did the riding go last weekend? I think I saw you on I-70 around 12:30ish.
That thing will be awsome when you get it done!

It's a blast to ride. Different than a sportbike of course and I will probably get slain for saying this but I think I like it better.
