Title: Started her today.
Post by: Firehawk068 on January 11, 2014, 07:11:51 PM
I was finishing up a car project I have been working on, and I heard my next door neighbor trying to kick over his BSA................So I strolled over to give him a hand (a leg actually) After he tired of kicking it, I gave it a few good kicks and she popped and banged a couple times.......A couple more kicks and it roared to life......

That inspired me, since I haven't started mine in over 2 months! I blew the dust off mine, wheeled it out of the garage, gave her 2 clicks of choke..............Cycled the key a couple times till the fuel pump slowed.
Hit the starter button and she fired right up like I just parked her yesterday..............I let her warm up real nice, till the oil temp rose to around 220 (took about 20 minutes or so) then shut her off.........

If my neighborhood streets weren't still covered in ice, I might have taken her for the first ride of 2014................ :unknown:

What a way to tease yourself!!! :dash2:
But if you do that regularly, you wouldn't have to hook up on of those new-fangled battery charger thingys. :lol:

It was 60 here today, so after I got home from work, I took her out for a little jaunt around Aurora.
Filled her up full of fuel, with a little Star-Tron for good measure...........I'll probably ride her to work tomorrow. :yahoo:
