After a bunch of heat cycles to snug down the cylinder heads, checking to make sure nothing was coming loose and dialing in the carb a bit more it was time for the first ride. I learned how to ride on old Indians but it had been 35 or more years sense I last rode foot clutch left hand throttle. 35 years of modern forward controls stood between me and the distant memories of riding those old Indians. I have to admit I was a little nervous.
