So I go out to my shed this morning, before the sun gets too high. I want to start figuring out why my motorcycle refused to turn over just before Burning Wood 2013.
While moving the bike a little to the right (so I can get at the alternator cover) something "feels" a little different. On a whim, I dig the key out of my pocket, turn it in the ignition switch, squeeze the clutch lever, and jab the starter button. The motor turns over and, a little reluctantly at first, the engine catches and eventually over-revs because I had left the choke all the way on.
Huh. Go figure.
Since that time I have

Since that time I have
- Started "weedeating" the perimeter of the back yard
- Chauffered Puppy Polly to her first Petco training class (and dropped another bundle on toys, etc)
- Finished "weedeating" the back yard
- Mowed the back yard
- Took a break with FamilyWoodworking and my favorite motorcycle forum
