She's alive!

Well, after sitting idle for approximately 4 months, my baby woke up! It was cold and raining and decided today was as good a day as any and this coming week the temps are supposed to be in the 40's. Spring is here!

Awesome! Got to love that first day of getting ready for the riding year. I love this time of year in general, though. As soon as you really start to feel the heat from the sun you know spring is getting close. Enjoy the riding!

Sounds great, considering the long break.
No rattles, no smoke. She looks good to go.

Nice dentures too.

Good to see and hear, and also that last piece of advice "pull the clutch in" was timely !

That looked tough! Did you're thumb hurt after that? I remember the day when you had to kick it a few times and you couldn't wear sneakers.
