Finally a bike owner again…

After what seems like an eternity, I now have a two-wheeled mode of transport again….

I decided that I wanted a bit of a project to keep me busy and to keep from being parked in front of the TV night after night.

I missed my yellow ‘96 Nighthawk and regretted selling it, so imagine my surprise when I stumbled upon a black ‘92 with some cosmetic issues but a strong running engine for $800.

Here’s some of the “before” pics…my starting point.

I have some grand ideas for this bike. I finally have the ability to get a bike like this back to nearly new condition, and I want to have a dependable, reliable weekend touring bike by the end of the year.
