Most recent developments:
Took a couple links out of the chain, tightened up the rear shock, cleaned out the exhaust, and painted up the pink fork boots and purple seat with vynal paint so they're now black.
I hated it... so I just ordered a set of Red and Black RT180 decals from E-bay, and a Red vynal seat-cover. No more pink and purple!
She's still running great. I didn't see any restrictions in the exhaust port, it is a tad narrow, but if thats the way Yamaha made it... it must be that way for a reason.
My father hopped on it today, (320lbs) and he was flying... Lol. Quite the sight.
OH, by the way fellas, it's Athol... ah-thall. :) Once every few years the newspaper runs a story about someone traveling out to Athol, Idaho... pretty fun... (rolls eyes).
Again, let me know if there's a ride planned in the New England area anytime soon, I can truck the bike anywhere and I really don't care how far, a half-hour drive is nothing to me.
