[QUOTE="redbloke1956, post: 48607, member: 2299"] Probably not Bruce, but I am sure you understand that rush you get when you get close to starting a life long dream, mine was to own and ride a Vin...near what I thought was the end of the rebuild I decided to see if it would start , minus rear seat/ guards etc...well it did start so I thought I might as well try the gearbox/ brakes etc and rode it up and down the street sitting precariously on rear springs and damper. When I eventually got it all together with seat etc it just felt weird so I made the trial seat and so far I love it. Horses for courses I suppose, I may change it back once I get it registered and start putting the miles on, we'll see. kevin [/QUOTE]
