I finally got to get out on a ride today! Yahoooooooooooooo! I even gave out a big YAHOOOOOOOOOOOO! in my helmet when I finally got out on the road - oops, forgot my earplugs.
I was just so happy to finally get out. Plus, I just got new riding boots that I got to wear. [smiley=clap.gif]
It's the first time I've had the bike out since last fall. I am always concerned that things will be working right on the first trip out. There was one little thing (gas leak at the right carb when I first turned on the petcock. See tech section - I'll ask about that there). I topped her off with some good gas and took off.
I was meeting my friend at this wonderful pie place and we were going to go from there. The ride there was really nice. I know some great curvy and hilly back roads to get there and I had a great ride there. Well, the pie place was closed for Easter. Oh yeah. It's a holiday. Oh well. Plus, Larry realized his back brake on his K100 wasn't working. Urk. He couldn't figure it out, but while he was waiting for me he saw where the leak was. The sun was shining right on the rear brake fluid reservoir and he could finally see that the brake fluid was leaking out of a crack in the reservoir. No wonder the brake wasn't working. At least its an easy fix.
He decided it might be unsafe to ride like that and we'd have many more days of riding and he'd better get the bike back home. So we sat and chatted for awhile and figured out how to cure the worlds ills. I had much to do at home too so when we left I went back home too. Of course, I took those really neat curvy and hilly back roads back home. 8-)
