Yeap....It was in the mid 40's yesterday morning when I told the wife,I might take the scoot out for coffee. She said, "Go for it". It took a little more cranking than usual to get it fired.....you know, dry carb, fuel pump, and gas tank under your feet, all contribute to slow starts, after a 3 month hiatus.
Once fired, and after at least a 10 minute warm up, off I went....stopped to fill up with ethanol free gas before arriving at my coffee stop. About an hour later, I was ready to leave, and the temperature was up to 54*. Took the long way home, making a stop at NAPA to pick up 4 oil filters. When it was all said and done, I'd covered 33 miles....and the scoot never skipped a beat.
Most might think....big deal. But when you live in Western New York, and can comfortably ride your scooter 33 miles, on February 15th, it is a big deal. Now I only have 2 months to wait, before the season starts for real around here.
It was an enjoyable day.
