Congratulations!
I love the frenzied camera work, random screaming and rude engine note 
Most excellent!!
I've still got a wav file somewhere on my comp of the first time I fired the ST1100 up (including large carb flamefart backfire!!)... Sounds so
much better now it's sync'd and colortuned but even so... brings back memories!!!

Well Done...
That feeling of success never leaves you... Its the same as when I got my first motorbike engine started. It didn't run and was abandoned in a
garden for a few years (Engine blown). I stripped it, rebuilt it with a book from the library, and eventually got it on the road and sold it at a huge
profit. (paid £6:50, sold £30).
I was only 15 at the time I built it, and that was 39 years ago.
I have had this several times over the years with engines I have built. Its the same every time... a really good feeling when it starts!..
Keep at it, you will get it on the road eventually... What's more there are other elations to come, like the first drive, the SVA pass etc..
1. The point of a journey is not to arrive.
2. Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.
Best Regards
Geoff

Much like the first sound you hear from your newly born baby it truly is a sound you will never forget.
All the hassle, trouble, heartache, sleepless nights all seem to be worth it for that fraction of a second. The grin lasts for ages when the image
pops into your mind... enjoy it, for it will carry you on to finish your build. Well done and thanks for sharing it with us all...
