"I don't want a pickle, just wanna ride on my motorsickle..."

So, I bought that motorcycle pictured two posts below, the maroon-tanked 1980 Honda cm400t. Long story short--it flipped off the back of the truck while we were transporting it home and went from being immediately rideable save for some new tires, to needing new handlebars and a clutch lever. While this is a bit of a set back, that's about the best possible news one can receive when dealing with a motorcycle flipping off the back of a truck--i.e. "you just need new handlebars and a clutch lever." So, I found handlebars online that fit the approximate measurement of the handlebars on the bike(they're a bit mangled, so there are no definite measurements here, but the two are close enough) and a cheap Honda clutch lever that fits my year and make of bike. My friend Alan Porn-Hair and I are going to sit down together and put the new stuff on. Then, I need to get the tires replaced and, at that point, I'll finally be able to learn to ride the thing!
