Monster Step today

Well I'm off work this week. Went and picked up insurance on the 56. With this in hand I took a few laps around the neighborhood. After this I checked all the fluids and made sure nothing had came loose or was about to fall off. Since every thing looked good I got back out and took it for a front end alignment which was the first time I took it to a garage. While there I went ahead and got a inspection sticker. Which means I am street legal.

As the classic Steppenwolf rock song goes... "get yer motor runnin'" (done)... "head out on the highway"... (well close... your neighborhood).... "searchin' for adventure"... (sounds like there's lots of that down the road!) Congrats! More pics and maybe some cruising video are in order!

Jack,

You will have to let me know how the Classic Performance Products Brake master cylinder and booster works out. I just spoke with them today to find out some details on it.
