It's up and running!

Heard from my mechanic Steve Huntzinger yesterday that my bike is up and running! He says it starts on the first kick and that the new wheels and tires make a huge difference. He put about 60 miles on it. Got about 50 miles on half a tank of gas. This is great news... means I will only have to stop for gas every 100 miles. I will be out riding it on Aug. 5th to put more miles on it. Hopefully, I'll get some photos and maybe even video to post! Whoaaaa!!!

Motor Maids in Cody

Can't wait to ride Effie!

So.... can't wait to ride Ms. Effie in 2 weeks. It's going to be a long and wonderful relationship that I hope continues long after the Cannonball hooplah is over.

BTW, Discovery is filming the event, so it should be exciting!

I'll post again as soon as I have new info and photos. :)

Yes... I am a Motor Maid. photo of Laura Klock, Chickie Ransom and me taken in Cody, WY
