March 3rd and the Aprilia is all done!

Yeah!  Will take it for the inaugural ride to Florence (and lunch at a great Mexican restaurant).
Round trip should be about 140 miles.

March 2nd...tank is on!

And the reassembly continues.   This afternoon the gas tank went back on, all connections made. Other assorted pieces are lined up to follow.   Photo of Stu this afternoon praying to the motorcycle gods!    (Or also could be viewed as him bolting this to that ;))

And anyone who had back surgery...we assure you that this isn’t bending, lifting or twisting since those activities are prohibited after surgery. ;)
