Fred,
Congrats. Is this your first Eldo? Something about doing the work yourself
and then seeing the thing come to life that is special. I'll look forward to
seeing the bike.

And then the big day arrived (the instant "F" sentence when I taught freshman composition). Painted the inside of the headers with heat paint and bolted on the exhaust system this afternoon (using that bitchin exhaust nut wrench), and fired up the Eldo for the first time. It fired right up, and after setting the timing and laying on of the Twinmax, ran like a champ. I tooled around town feeling like Elvis until the snow chased me in. I have a few shakedown adjustments, but overall I was impressed with how smooth and comfortable the Eldo is. This should be fun. 73 Eldo (it runs) 78 T3/949 |
