Entry for August 17, 2005 Check the Kill Switch First!

Picture:  Pam's Little Honda Rebel Chopper


Bob was over last night with the bracket he made for the seat on Pam's bike.  After some fine tuning and a couple of Guiness we were satisfied with the results.  I invited Bob to ride Pam's little chopper which he did but he didn't like the slow speed handling, the seating position, the handle bars, most everything.  He did allow that it sounded good and looked cool, just wouldn't be for him.


Time for him to ride a real bike, the Bullet.  I wanted to impress him by letting him go through the starting drill to get the big single thumping.  As I was talking him through it I noticed that the amp meter wasn't deflecting like it should so I wheeled it back into the garage and had the plub half out when it dawned on me...."check the kill switch dumb ass".  I did, it was off, must have bumped it rolling it out of the garage.  It started right up of course and Bob was half way down the drive way when he commented "this is more like it".


Today I am getting ready to haul the Bullet down to Tulsa for it's 500 mile service.  They said it would be free so I figured I might as well take it down.
