Re: A $450, 400 four - The Black Knight..RUNS AND RIDES.
So, I just want to say this to anyone new to this vintage motorcycle game.
Yes I borrowed a battery from Rachels bike and I installed 4 new fuses and a gallon of lawn mower gas. I already had in my garage
Otherwise, It took me a grand total of $0 dollars and around 3 hours of my time invested to get her Running AND Riding.
NOW its time to dig in. Only doing Safety and Reliability stuff.
Then Im gonna ride the shit out of her "FUGLY" for the rest of the summer to help ensure there is nothing catastrophic wrong with her.
So, When the time comes. I wont be afraid to go ahead and drop a few $$$ on cosmetic stuff.
Not the other way around.
Yes it may take you longer than 3 hours. But its time well spent and experience gained. I myself, expected this to take longer and more work.
No, I dont believe Im an expert on this stuff. Its just I do have some experience. And want you to have a good experience also.
