my first ride of the year, finally

Postby 125SMash » Sun Mar 28, 2004 5:30 pm

dropped the dead 160cca battery
plugged in the 80cca one,
(same that had to 'go' when it wouldntstart in the cold last year)

opened the choke, started the engine, which it did O.K.
but then sounded as if it was choking out..
i slightly opened the throttle, after a few second gradually closed down the choke, and it seemed to keep idling fine.

FINALLY>>>>

partially i coulndt believe the damn thing started :)
it must have felt bad for me considering all the nerv wracking and hassles, and it being such a great sunny day outside for a change (NYC).

i just rode around the neighbourhood for half an hour, since i felt my 'skills' have dulled down significantly since the MSF course 8 months ago. i still feel a little akward in some things, and i actually stalled on few stop signs, but now that the bike is actually starting, i will actually have a chance at expanding my riding experience

:-D
