The juxtapositions that life likes to throw around just continue to hit me. I sold my parts bike on Saturday. On Sunday, I was doing some work and realized that one of the shoulder bolts that secure the rocker cover in place was broken. It was sheared completely. I was looking for the reason why there was some oil leakage and this is probably why. Anyway, it was then that I realized that that parts I would need had left just the day before. The bolts aren’t expensive; only about $3 a piece. However, it required ordering and waiting. It took until today to get the parts in. Installing them took no time…
And off I went for a ride around the neighbourhood. Now, the bike still hasn’t been safetied or licensed. So, I don’t want to go far. But, even going around the block is fun. I still tend to stall out from stop signs. And I know I am not stopping properly. I tend to drag my feet. And I haven’t got the habit of using the rear brake regularly.
Other than that, I am doing well.
The bike is still for sale, but I have had no real interest. I may have to drop the price soon, but I am hesitant as I am enjoying riding it. And my wife has told me she can accept me riding. More to consider….
