You may have noticed a deafening silence here for the past month or so. That would be because I managed to get the bike plated and running on the roads. And I had a blast with it.

It was pretty amazing, taking this bike from scrap in someone's backyard to fully certified and road-worthy. What a fun ride.

That said, it's time to pass it on.. I've gotten a new bike and this one is up for sale. I really enjoyed the whole restoration process but I think it's time to let it go to a new beginner, or bike project enthusiast. I'm selling it for about $1200, probably less, but I figure that is a pretty good deal for a running bike with so much restoration work put into it.

My new bike is a black 2009 FZ6R - and I love it. More pics of that to come when I'm not busy riding it!
