That's pretty much how I felt.

New exhaust installed on the v dub, 2" piping with a Borla muffler. Changed the headlights over to H4 housings & bulbs so they're actually beneficial as lights. Also installed a new antenna.

All of this stuff has been in the garage for about 2 years so it was about time I got off my ass. Next I'm taking it to a VW specialist to see about getting it running better.

Got the Thruxton back to ride-able status. Unfortunately, the company who makes my mirrors sent me the wrong one (from England, no less). I contacted them to see about getting the right one, so hopefully they'll get that sorted out easily. Additionally, the stock pipes I'm currently using (thanks to a motorcycle buddy letting me use his) are entirely too quiet, so I ordered some new mufflers that I'm hoping I can get fit up nicely to the bike. They're these little things made by Biltwell that'll likely be plenty loud.

Yep. It was supposed to just be a test drive to see if Holly liked it or not.



She liked it...
