Chris managed to arrange some free time on Saturday for a weekend ride, so we got a crew together for some trail time. During the week, the discussion went around about Wailuna, so the die was cast and we met at the park a little after noon. Root was in as was Ckucke. The Wandells were probably going to be on the water, so they were out. Scat had other plans, but changed his mind at the last moment and arrived with Ckucke. CKH was already there when I rolled in.

To tired to contemplate going home and jumping on bike, I hop in car to start it to go home. Nothing. Sheeze! I try a couple more times, pause for a while to silently curse, then try again and it goes. Nuts, looks like I’m going to have to bypass most of the stock wiring, put in my own, and a big red start button. I can be all trendy like those fancy shmancy S2000’s and Lexus’. If I do that, then it’ll eliminate all other sources of problems and it’ll come down to the starter.
