I'm smiling since I spent the whole day yesterday getting my new bike, actually it's not new, it's very, very used and has been standing for a year at Supersginet's place (he was not allowed to ride it so it's been sitting for a year in a small shed), we couldn't get it started for various reasons, but I just couldn't wait to get working on her, so I hired a van to go and pick the old girl up.



Here she is in the back of the van thing (we had to put it flat as there was no way it would fit standing up).

I got back, and got to work at my local bicycle repair shop down in my village, there were plenty of onlookers and people eager to lend their "expertise".



After using almost a full can of WD-40 on all the rust, I went ahead replacing some parts.



Parts that I replaced
1) new battery
2) new handlebars
3) new oil
4) new mirrors
5) new ignition and tank cap (thanks for the help Mike)
6) filled the tank

And then she turned over and ran.. what a surprise, this really is going to be an awesome project, I'll have the old girl
looking like new in no time.
