Slow and Steady

...wins the race. Yes, I have lots of excuses. I moved again. I'm trying to sell my house. Yadda, yadda, yadda. You don't care. I did manage to buy a tank. It is the kind I was looking for and I got it for only $40 shipped. But, it has a large dent in the top that is going to take a good amount of work (read $$$) to get out and it is too rusty to use how I wanted to with the brushed metal finish showing. I put some of the bike back together with the tank on it to see how it looked. Now that it is on there, I'm thinking I want something longer. Ugh, the search continues. I'm currently working on cleaning and painting the rear wheel. I expect that one will take even longer than the front wheel.
