A nice ride in to work today

It was sunny but cool so I thought I would ride the 7 miles in to work instead of getting the bus.
Just traffic and Autumn sun low in the sky and straight in my eyes.

Leaving work with a cold motor it is a sharp left turn up a steep hill with heavy traffic moving slowly.
The choke was still on, the motor was coughing a bit and wanted the choke in but the traffic was moving at exactly the wrong speed for me to stop feathering the clutch in 1st gear and push the choke in.
My bike has Chainsickle rear-sets so I was able to push the choke fully home with my left knee!

There, a happy story for you.

Hey, I'm happy now for reading that.  :SM:

Now, warm up that motor next time and you'll be happy too.  :up:

My Sporty is already laid up on SORN for winter. Took my '83 Guzzi T3 across to the main line station this morning though. Beautiful out there; sun just rising behind the trees and a little mist sitting out on the fields and across the waters at the old gravel pits. Damned cold though.
