It still works!!!
 
So my bike has been sitting for like 5 months. I haven't started it but I kept it on the battery maintainer one or two days a week, switching back and forth between my bike and the wife's. Anyway, when I last rode it (I think last September) I ran the gas out. I pulled the bike out yesterday, turned on the gas and pulled the choke. It was running in less than 5 seconds!!! I then let it warm up for a minute and off I went. Man it felt good to be riding that again. Oh yeah and I had to get the license renewed, and in Washington State every 7 years you have to get a new plate....what a rip off, anyway, I can't believe its been 7 years since I picked up the bike from the shop...and actually its been 8, since I let the license expire and I should have got it renewed back in November. But it felt good to be riding again.

I even took the 1300 for a spin, man that was also a blast....the wife's bike has expired tabs, and so I need to wait till July to get them otherwise if I renew them now, I'll just have to get to get them again in July. The lady at the office said you have to wait a year and a day. So many bikes so little time..and money. LOL

Yeah, it's probably all just a contrived story. I'll bet it's still sitting in his garage with a plugged pilot jet...dead battery...sour fuel...a dead cam chain tensioner...flat tires...and an undrilled starter jet.:D

Well, he did post a supposedly current pic of his bike at the pump in the "Let's post some pic ..............." thread.

There you go again neglecting your motorcycle, and to think there are people out there who dont even have a motorcycle...
