Road worthy again. Running well, acceleration is better than I expected, need to put some miles on it before the big trip. Still lots to do in the engine compartment. Really need to smooth over the tail. Need to do something with the interior to make it sleepable. Also, still need fire extinguisher and H-rated tires. Got a XXL/SA2005 helmet on Ebay for $60, in "Stig" white. I'm not the Stig, but his PWT-Hillbilly cousin.

Where it's running well, I'll do some on road testing to see where I'm at as far as performance. I need to find a flat section of road somewhere.
