First long(ish) ride
I took the beast on its longest ride so far, a 30 mile round trip. I had SO MANY thumbs up, head nods, waves, and horn beeps I couldn't come close to keeping count. If you would've taken a picture of me you would've probably seen the biggest, goofiest grin ever. I can't wait to drive it again. Unfortunately, I was so anxious to go cruise that i forget to put my new headlight switch in and i ended up driving the last 4-5 miles with no lights on...in the dark.
 Oh well, it was worth it and so was the 4 months I spent building it.
