> > | 2004Finally got around to having the tail light wiring fixed, it cost around $160 mostly because it took a lot of effort to do. So I got the bike inspected and rode over to Dad's house and it seems to be running fine. July 21 is Ride to work day, so I did. Riding on rt128 isn't all that much fun, but rt4 from Burlington to Chelmsford is a pleasant ride. | |||||||

< < | 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. | |||||||
