what a rush...

an early evening ride, on the back roads, sun kissed fields, horses grazing, the scent of cut grass... 
and in all four fucking gears !
Put the gearbox back over the weekend, and after some thought today removed the points ignition as she took some kicking to start last time and we got a bigger fatter spark with the electronic.
She didn't want to start - hardly suprising as the battery earth wasn't hooked up!
Tried without choke as it was pretty warm, and she kept coughing through the carb. Needed enrichener and a fast idle setting to start. 
Started Ok second time - and off we went...

So good to see you finally enjoying riding the bike after all those setbacks...

You must have the patience of a saint.

I love my bike... and now I know more about the how... it still can hurt though... the 'why me' etc.
As 'someone' said - fuck this, lets ride!
