My maiden voyage

tommymac · 03-18-2009, 07:38 AM

rode into work this morning and it was a chilly one. Was kicking myself for not hooking up the harness for the gerbings. its a 23 mile jaunt so its not too bad though.

All in all the bike ran ok, but somethings up with the gas gague, I knew there wasnt much gas in the tank and I went out and bought a gallon and a half of premium last night just to mix some fresh gas in there and the gague was reading as full which it def isnt. It did start going down as I rode up here so I think after a few fill ups and running it down it will hopefully go back to normal.

odd thing too was I tried to stop to get air and I kinda hammered it comming out of the gas station and it looks like it spit out an error code so I will check that tonight.

other than it burning off the oil I spilled monday everything looked good .

That's what I was thinking. And people say bikes have no feelings.
