First ride!
« on: July 29, 2005, 04:41:52 PM »
I rode the pile for one glorious block! ;D

It runs pretty good as long as the choke is about 1/2 on. I have not played with the pilot screws yet.

It goes into second a little weird. I had to double tap the shift lever. Is this normal?

But anywho...I got to ride my motorcycle!!! ;D

There's nothing like that first ride. Even if you have to wonder if you'll make it back home!

Congrats!

Ha, sounds familiar.  :D Thank God for cell phones, AAA, and on-board took kits.

The first ride is great but if it has been a while, it almost feels a bit weird!

I took mine for it's first ride (by me anyways) yesterday, it is an awsome feeling, the sound of the gears whineing and such, you have to love it! My k7 is my first motorcycle, and i love it! I hope it lasts forever! Good luck getting yours going smoothly, mine was a challenge at first but after D/Ling the Honda Shop manual in PDF from the manuals FAQ it was a breeze! Ride long and prosper!

Me too!  However somtimes I wonder if it will be the bike or the rider that is the part that malfunctions. LOL
