The moment draweth nearer......

Well today is the day I get my Vision back. She has spent more time in the garage waiting for parts than I care to mention. Nothing serious though which makes it more annoying. This time I needed new forks, apparently there was a knock on one and would cost more to strip and fix than replace.So thats what I did. When they arrived I thought I would have some high risers put on at the same time (many thanks to Tiger  indeed for shipping them all the way from Canada :)). however, I then had to wait for a new brake hose as the Euro model XZ has shorter ones and were causing me a certain amount of grief.. Last night the news arrived it was almost all up together and just being assembled. So thismorning I am up bright and early (6:00am) and going to catch a lift into town with my girlfriend (who works next to the repair shop) and sit outside the garage till the call comes and then take the old girl for a well deserved spin and clear her throat good and proper!! All in all shes been off the road for about 3 months....so you see, I am very prepared for this moment and I think you'll understand how I feel!!
What shall I do till my girlfriend is ready, two and a half hours time.? ( impatiently stomping )
Have a nice day.

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming HOOOOYA lets go again baby !!!!!!

'82 Vision, Pearl Orange finish, lots of up-grades!!!
