Thanks Chuck! I am eager to get started on it. My plan was to learn to work on the Nighthawk, but I chickened out. I don't have much mechanical experience and I didn't want to screw up my daily rider trying to learn. I will try to keep you posted on any progress (or massive mistakes!) I make. I figure you can't go too wrong with a free motorcycle. Being that it is that old I am hoping it will be simpler than the newer bikes, but as we all know, bikes that old bring their own set of problems!
