Temps topped out over 70F today.  I had a lot of things to do and didn't get around to riding until after 17:00.  I had run down the battery in Daisy Mae (don't ask) so I jumped it from the pickup battery and took it on the road to charge the bikes electric storage unit.  I only got in a little over fifty miles with a mixture of four lanes and two lanes, mostly four at around 2500 RPM. 

When the traffic light turns green and one discovers he is in third gear and must decide whether to clutch in and downshift or simply go ahead and start off in third it is really nice to be riding a Valkyrie.

LOL!  I did say don't ask.   Wink  I have been able to ride several times within the past few weeks.  It wasn't run down from sitting too long.  I did use the enricher to hold the RPM up while I put things away and got ready to depart.
