Stress relief

Post by skids »

Friday I had stress at work, fought with my boss, broke the kick-starter lever off my GT500 on the first day of great weather, couldn't find my spare kick-starter lever. Drank some beer and went to bed.

Saturday morning I finally found the spare kicker, the lever was a mess, but the bottom piece that bolts onto the engine was perfect (the pin on the top of that was what sheared off). I matched the old and older lever parts together, bolted them on, and got the hell outta Dodge.

It was a beautiful day, I took a winding road that I like that follows the lakes and just went where ever the bike pointed. I drove about 70 miles as the stress just melted away. Stopped at a lake in the middle of no where, saw some deer, and watched some beavers. The bike ran like a top, the closest thing to an issue was a partridge that almost suicided on my right boot.

This is why I love my bike.
