I hear ya my ill temper isn't one of my better traits ..I would have done the same

 

Helen Helen Helen!!.....tsk tsk tsk... Posers don't get blisters...EVER!!!!...
That's cause we is never without our fingerless gloves.
However, he may have been in danger of hooking the starter rope on the buckle of his assless chaps!!!!!..

 

Wish ya warned me about that sooner...I woulda got one with 'lectric start.

 

Hey you with the camera, say goodbye. Hey, stop that, it's embarrassing, grown men don't do that...



Headin for a new home.



Dang it, loading groceries pic didn't turn out. You'll just have to imagine that, people staring at an old man unloading a grocery cart into his motorsickle.

Had a Harley rider and his lady wave at me, first time onna non Harley. Kids waved, an old man raking grass waved, what's with all this waving, wave day or sumptin?

Then I made the woodpiles bigger... I'm way past thinking chain saws are fun.

 

That's really neat, Moldie...I want one!

 

Lawn mower fun... that's why I finally gave up on the old 20 sumptin year old rider and bought a new one. This is the second summer it's fired right up. The old mower, the tiller, and the push mower always needed a shot of starting fluid in the spring, and then the push mower decided that wouldn't work either. Anudder thing to get rid of. Arizona was so much easier to take care of the yard, just spray weed killer on the few things that tried to grow...

 

Ya look good on there Wally. How'z it run??

 

Yup , Looks Good , Moldy ,

 

Better ride one before you get serious, it's a different beast than a 2 wheeler. Hit the back brakes hard, tries to make a right turn (use all brakes, stays pretty straight). Take off fast from a stop, you can lift the front wheel a bit and it tries to make a left turn. Don't lift the front wheel and it tries to make a left turn...

First 3 gears seem fine, but 4th you realize this is a 750 a good 250 will run away from. Gotta be over 50 to climb a mild grade in 4th (4 speed with reverse), but the motor gets real busy by 45 in 3rd; I just took hills at 40 when I wasn't going fast enough for 4th gear. Cruises 55 real nice, motor sounds happy, but at 60 it's running close to 5,000 rpm and the busy sounds really kick in. Redlines a bit over 70, and, like with my Harleys, I wouldn't cruise in redline territory.

My wrists are a little sore, and I didn't put much over an hour on it today. Took a road with a lot of twisties, and they really work you on this thing. Bit like driving a car with a broken power steering belt. Doesn't take any effort on a straight road, tracks pretty straight hands off. Didn't try that long, though, cause it slows down right quick with the throttle closed. The seat is high (but surprisingly comfy) and the bars are kinda low, think about a 2" riser would help a lot. Ride one of these a couple hours a day, you'd probably tone up the arm and shoulder muscles. Hmm, I could certainly use a bit of toning...

 

I shoulda went back to bed
