Title: damn wileyco
Post by: ktrim on July 26, 2005, 05:32:44 PM
just got the bike back together and running.  Ive been putsing up and down the street because I don't have tags yet.  I ve burned my leg on that damn muffler probably four times now.  no blisters yet but damn it hurts.  I ran it out of gas at the end of the drive way and gt burned trying to wlk it back to the garage.  Yeah I was in shorts and tennis shoes/ no gear. its like 95* right now and im only going about 200 yds up and down the street trying to adjust the carb.  but in all the reviews no one ever mentioned that if you run out of gas and your wearing shorts the can will remind you that you shoulve at least put on pants!! :lol:

99.9 percent of all people i know....stand on the left when pushing a bike

i feels weird to lean a bike onto it's righs side ...and you might burn your leg if you are not careful..... :mrgreen:
