Ready for the Road...sort of!

The Vulcan went for it's second trip (in it's current form) this week - again my Mate Damo came around and rode it down to the 'local' Vicroads, while I road beside him on my other bike - it was a beautiful Sunny Day and the Vulcan ran like a dream.
There were no hassles at Vicroads at all - Just filled in the paper work, had someone 'inspect' the bike (just confirmed the VIN and engine number), paid a crap-load of money and got the number plate!

Damo seemed to have good fun on the bike, despite almost being hit by a stupid $#%^&*@ woman in a minivan coming through a corner! He was impressed with the torque from the engine, especially from first gear into second - he thinks he may even have had the front wheel off the ground (cheeky bugger!).

So now it's just a matter of pulling it apart for painting and any other little things needed structurally (like a sissy bar)...very exciting :)
