My SRX-6 finally arrived this past Tuesday. After traveling for two weeks in a transport truck, it fired up first kick! Well pleased. I was able to get the state inspection taken care of yesterday morning. This allowed me to get the title transferred over to my name, and get an "Antique Motorcycle" license plate for it. In Texas, any vehicle past 25 years of age qualifies. I wish they would use "Classic" or "Vintage", rather than "Antique", but such is the government.
We had a bit of rain yesterday which cooled things off enough to make getting out in the shop bearable. This bike is mechanically sound, and well taken care of, but it was not in the hands of someone that practiced a habit of highly detailing the bike. As such, I have a lot of cleaning and polishing to do. In the end, it will make for an excellent bike to have in the collection.
To get started on the journey, I cleaned and polished the headers. Much better now!

I feel a lot more like I do now than I did when I got here!
