well, its alive

ryan, will and i started her up wed and broke the cam in. i've been messing with stuff the past couple days to get it back on the road. we didn't have any major problems, it all went pretty smooth. i've got a couple small leaks i got to take care of, but i guess thats to be expected when you have it that far apart.

i have to say that it sounds pretty wild. and i love the solid cam at idle. i know the solid is gonna require more maintanence than the hyro but i'm glad i did it. it revs up so fast its not funny. its gonna be hard to keep it under 3k for breakin period. barley tap the throttle and the rpms shoot way up. i'm gonna have to do somethin aobut the exhaust though, its way to loud now. took it out for a few laps around the neighborhood tonight but didn't take it over 30 b/c the alignment is so bad it darts to the right. the steering is soooooooo much better now with the new box and pump and poly fornt end kit it rides nice. well thats all for now, i'll update you guys once i get an alignment and can actauly kinda drive it
