I am riding it but there are a few small details to sort yet. I hopped up a 100 sport with a (much) stronger engine and added a disc brake. I love it for around town. Now that the jetting is almost right I am getting about a 100 miles per imperial gallon and very peppy performance too. Wasn't cheap to do though. Mind you my next project is a Ducati single and that looks to be an order of magnitude more expensive!
