My Baby is Home!!! 4/11/06

Picture: The REB is home after almost 3 weeks at the dealer

Finally, after almost three weeks, I picked up the bike at Ron's Cycleland in Tulsa today. Everything seems to be OK. I talked to the Mike the mech and he thought the problem with the head gasket leaking was because of the middle bolts on the head being torqued too tight. He said he had a hell of a time breaking them loose. I'll buy that, I know I couldn't break them loose when I re-torqued the head.

It is too early to tell if the 18T front sprocket will work like I hope. I could tell the difference but I'll know more tomorrw after the ROMEO lunch ride.

Had a hard time getting out of Oklahoma. I stopped in Bartlesville for gas and lunch and talked to three people about the old bike in the back of my truck. Handed out my cards and everyone seemed duly impressed. Such fun owning this bike.
