The adventure begins where your plans fall through.

Brings back memories...mostly good ones.  A GT380 was my first street bike way back in the day. I can still remember clearly the exhaust notes; very distinct and now nearly extinct on the road.

Terry I have a couple wheels I need done.....

Great Greg when are you going to start?  :-P :-P  I'll come see how you do it, I might pick up some pointers. I did these different. Used another new sewn wheel with Mothers (I think) Mag Polish as a finish than recleaned by hand using the polish.

What are you using now,FireFox? Should work. Open IE to view and see if that helps, or you might be trying to pull a Curtis on us!

Trust me, my method of polishing is outdated for sure!  Sanding and a towel with mothers type polish, grrrr.  I need to get some actual tools to polish with hehehehe.

No need for a reason other than the journey.

You are not paid for what you do, but rather for what you will do and when that time comes, you will be highly underpaid.

Lead the Way!

By the way, the only tea served up at Greg's was different variations of "Texas Tea" and I still have the dead dinosaur under my finger nails to prove it.
