2003

2003 has been a bad year for the bike. It started up like a champ in April, I didn't even have to get a new battery! Unfortunately I noticed on the shakedown run that the taillight fuse burns out after about 45 minutes. While inspecting the wiring I found that the area under the seat was full of half-chewed acorns, and the wiring had been nibbled as well. Evidently small furry animals were living in the bike (probably when I lived next door and didn't have a garage). It's not going to be a trivial fix so the bike has sat in the garage while I figured out what to do with the noisy red car.
