Currently rebuilding the engine (one bad bearing), should be back on the road next weekend.

Learning to shift and clutch with one hand was easier than I thought.
And sitting so far forward feels like I'm going over when I brake.

What an AWESOME birthday gift!

I also found learning to clutch with the left hand and shift was pretty straight forward. Of course manual transmissions already have left hand clutches so that part felt "normal". I really like the twist grip shifting on my P200E.

That's a beautiful VBB! I'll know who's it is if I see it around town. You just don't see too many of those.
