Just looked at the weather, looks like sat. or sunday may be the first ride this spring if today's rain rinses some salt from the road.

March is the cruelest month

Isn't it interesting that the nicest days in March come in the middle of the week?

luckyeddy refers to the hapless character in the Hagar the horrible comic strip, stuff like this always happens to him (and me)

I am going to drain the carbs and try again.

Yep, that was it draining the carbs worked.
Now if the road dries out, I am good to go.

Eddy,

I got mine running today too. It started hard but after fiddling with the choke it fired right up.

I did manage to ride about 20 miles or so before the frost bite started to set in.

The weather did not get as nice as they for-casted this weekend.

Mark

Well, I did go for a ride, but it was on my Vino 125 not my legend. The roads still had quite a bit of sand on the edges, salt too so I figured "Plastic don't rust", still it was great being out again :-D
