Triumph of human will over aluminum


Nearly two years and endless amounts of blood and money in the making, Suzi lives and breathes again. She weeps a tiny bit of oil from the revised and siliconed head gasket (gaah!) and she won't idle below 2000 rpm, and the rear brake doesn't work anymore - but she runs DAMN good and pulls like a freight train. I ran her down to the local gas station to fill her up with premium and relived the days of wind-in-my-chest muscle-bike glory with the added joy of vintage rat-bike style.

Now the question remains: can I really sell her? (My Discover card balance will probably answer that one for me)
