Thanks again J for tonight! I had a really great time… (at least until the stupid bike started acting funny)

So, here’s my laundry list of things that aren’t right on my bike!! (Holy… Sheesh)
* Handlebar way too long
* Tires not balanced (or not properly)
* Speedometer / Odometer / Trip not working
* Right turn light blinks fast (sometimes??)
* Battery is hosed
* The bike started sputtering near the end of about 2 hours on the road today — Not good! (Yes, I had fuel, but it was acting like I didn’t)
* Clutch lever is WAY too short
* Part of my dash wasn’t put back in

That’s a lot to fix! Good grief.
