Sweet man. Post up some pics of the bike.

I will try to get a few shots this weekend before we have to deliver the bike to him in Goose Creek SC the following weekend. He is in Nuke school and has permission to drive it on base. I'm sure that he will get a lot of attention from his Navy buddies after they see him flying all over the compound. It's a pretty basic setup, but he has gone through improvements along the way and he had a lot of fun learning the tricks of the trade. He has front and rear disc breaks and goes through pads like crazy. It was fun just watching his progression from one phase to another.
