Both me and the truck. I have spent the last two weeks obsessing over the newest member of the family. There were a lot of unknowns with this truck when I got it and when I dug into it I discovered a lot of issues. After replacing the coil, starter, starter relay, wires, battery, and fuel pump I thought I had it ready to rock. Well turn the key and nothin. Troubleshooting for the next few nights and last night I came upon the discovery that the distributor wiring was fucked up. After sorting that out she came to life last night. I celebrated with a cold Grain Belt and shot this video.
Well bitches I am still alive. Finally nice out and have a hard time sittin down on the computer these days. By friend Billy inherited this 77 Shovel SuperGlide from his old man last week. His old man bought this bike new in 77 and parked it in 1994 down in New Mexico. It now has someone near 130k miles on it and time to bring her back to life. I found this sweet hat in the leather bag strapped to the back. Said his old man got it from some chick for givin her a ride. Oh the stories this thing must be able to tell.
Billy is stoked to ride this thing once we can get it running and I cant wait to put some miles on with him!
