First Spring motorcycle ride.

I rode to work a few times this Winter and it was a little too cold in the morning (I know you are saying "no duh" to yourself rite now). I was planning on toughing it out and riding most of the Winter knowing it would be possible but my Mom came to visit for Thanksgiving and then we had a week of rain. So I just got too comfy in my truck. The rides home were fine though. Now Spring time is here and the mornings are warming up. I just went for an evening ride.

The motorcycle sat outside with a cover over it all winter and still runs great. All the moving parts, breaks, levers etc. work flawlessly. At one point it sat for 2 1/2 months but when I went to start it up, the engine turned right over.



In a comment left by ejc_61364 he was wondering about future upgrades or modifications I may be planning. Rite now about the only thing I am considering is a new chain. I may just put a run of the mill motorcycle chain on but I really want the Sidewinder V-Series Smart Chain. It supposedly reduces friction and that would help this 200cc powerplant out I am sure. I will keep you all posted.

Have fun out there and be safe on your motorcycles.
