Hey Pat! Glad to hear from a local. I'm by the freeway, 96th and 160th.
Update: the bike is now in my garage(no big doors, just a 3ft mandoor.
It's a heavy beast, and access in is awkward. Gonna have to park it
outside in a month. I am smelling a little bit of gas from the top of the
tank, should I be worried? I'll post pictures in a bit.
Cheers!
