my bike

got to work on my bike again tonight!
simon texted me to tell me there was good news, but i could call him after work to find out.

the news was that my battery was fully revived!
and that when he put the carburetor back in, it fired up no problem!
what a great deal for a bike!!

so i headed over to the shop and we set to work.
i still need to order in that part, but we can make do for now with a quick fix.
its just not permanent.

we did an oil change, but need a new filter, which simon is grabbing tomorrow,
bled the brakes, added a fuel filter, put the chain back on and cleaned the fuse contacts.

i go pick it up on wednesday!!!

afterwards, claire met me in the parking lot by my house with her bike, which is a bigger version of my own.
and alot heavier too.
but i took it around the parking lot for a bit before she had to run.
its been soooooo long since i was on a bike that its almost like i never have, but once i was going, it felt all to familiar again.
though i did tip her bike over once. but at a very slow speed, no worries.
its just so damn heavy that once it leans too far over...well... its just gone.

we are going to meet up again tomorrow and practice some more.
then wed i can get mine and practice with it!
it will be soo much easier to use than claires since mine is so much lighter!

i cant wait!!!!!!!

sorry no pics, but when its all done, you better believe there will be!

Sounds fun (you know, in a terrifying way!)
