Make some noise

Up to this point our auditory impact has been limited to the house attached to the garage, due to the stationary nature of the vehicle.

Now we have the chance to extend our reach to include annoying the whole street, because it's finally time to roll out of the garage and take it for a spin!

In truth we're just getting it out of the way to do other things, but I'm still excited!

First a bolt-check - we mark all the bolts with a paint pen so we know what we've missed. Then we clean all the crap off it, run it up to temperature, check for leaks and do a quick brake check.

Add some cable ties to keep the wiring out of the pedals, then we roll! 

(If you have sharp eyes you'll notice that we have a "small" exhaust leak - but at some point you have to call it done and go make some noise).
