It's been about 8 years since I've been able to do anything with my bike. Got married, had an unexpected pregnancy, joined the Air Force and got stationed in Germany. Like an idiot I didn't bring the bike with me. This summer I'm supposed to move back to the states and I'll be able to get back into building my bike. I've decided now to go with a Brat or Brat/tracker build. Thankfully, I won't be waiting on this to be complete before having a bike to ride. I have inherited my grandpa's 2008 V Star 650 Custom, with about 3000 miles on it. While in Germany I bought a Suzuki SV650S full fairing bike. Rode that for about a year, then totaled it in a crash, along with my shoulder. Shoulder is all healed(tore a ligament in my A-C joint, collar bone was sticking nearly straight up).
Weird how all 3 of my bikes ended up being 650's. I'm just happy I'll have a bike to ride while I build this one.
