Sounds just like me, first test drive, very careful, a "Yes!" of
increasing intensity as I shifted through the gears, rejoicing that they
all worked. It is pretty loud w/o a shift boot (I ended up using the boot
of a 1500). Won a bet with a friend by taking him around the block that
night. I even had three days to spare in winning the bet. Gave him a
good ride in drizzling rain, no hood, no bonnet, no top (whatever) and a
nice slide around a roundabout. Makes it all worthwhile.
