Title: First FJ Ride Since November, 2012!
Post by: Lotsokids on June 10, 2013, 11:31:56 AM
I returned back home to Hungary on Saturday. My poor FJ has been parked in the garage since November, 2012. Then I had my accident in December that took me out for a few months. After a fresh battery charge, I tried to start it to ride to work today, but no go. It chugged on a couple cylinders, then the battery ran out of juice trying to re-start it. I put it back on the charger and when I came home from work, it cranked right up. I took the beast out for a ride just now... how I missed that acceleration! I continually missed second gear when shifting fast/hard because of my left leg issue. Plus sometimes that's an easy one to miss. But I can shift well when riding like a sane person. :blush:

I removed the left cheek pad in my ICON helmet so it would fit with the swelling in my jaw.

Good to be back in the saddle!!! :yahoo:

 It sure is good to climb back on after a few months away and actually ride,  my helmet felt loose from lack of hair :lol:
