Made my first YouTube video!

Bike is my 1998 Honda VTR1000 Superhawk, originally purchased for $250. I hope to continue building this into a track bike, right now I still need to find the oil leak(s) and patch the hole in the exhaust to keep the volume down for tracks other than loudon. I want to build a custom seat and custom fairing as well, but i'm not sure if that would be good video content.
What do you guys think? What should I do next on the bike? What are some random, entertaining things I can do with such a cheap, ratty bike? What are some things I did horribly wrong in this video?
