First Ride in 3 1/2 years
« on: July 01, 2021, 03:02:33 PM »
Today was my first ride in 3 1/2 years and it was awesome!!!  All the problems and BS of life just faded into the background as she roared back to life.  Love my bike and my sohc4 family.

Time to make some memories.

Good for you, Chewy!    I like to ride at least once a week.

Bike looks good...let me know if you need any emblems, I may have some for you N/C.

Bike sounds good. Glad you are getting back on track with things Chewy. Nothing like taking these sohc4's down the road and getting some wind in your face. It hasn't been 3 1/2 years for me, but it has been a while. I still have all my bikes but they need some TLC. The only one I can jump on and take down the road right now is the K4.

Motorcycle therapy never fails!

The only thing better is sidecar therapy  ;D

If it sounds like I know what I'm talking about, it's because I cut and pasted from someone else.

Carbs are easy for me.  I got to pull my rack and check float height.  Drinking gas but maybe that is me going hard on the throttle.

So I was at the company kickball game listening to one of my coworkers girl complain about how he never takes her anywhere and all I could think is I am so glad I have a motorcycle.
