Biker Update Number 1 - Sunday, the Day of our Lord: I'm going to pick up my bike soon. My bike. A sign of man manliness. A sign of my virility. A macho manly sign of virile manly machismo.
But since I don't feel comfortable driving it on the highway yet, I'm having my sister's lesbian girlfriend drive it home for me.
Biker Update Number 2 - Monday, the Day of Traci Lords: Took my bike out for a couple of miles today, learning to shift gears. It ran great to my brother's house, about 3 miles away. But a couple of hours later when I was driving it home, it died a mile away.
I couldn't get it restarted, so I knocked on a door and got some water and waited a half an hour. Jumped back on my bike (my bike) and got it running. I'm thinking it's a carberator, ignition, or maybe fuel problem.
A block later it dies again.
5 minutes later I get it started again.
30 seconds later it dies again. I try to get it started and it won't start. Either by the push start or kick starting.
I knock on a door again, and get a ride back to my brother's house.
Swimming, tanning, and trout and salmon eating come to pass.
And it is nighttime. My mom drives me over to get my bike (my bike) but it won't start. She drives me to get some gas and I put it in and it starts.
I rev the fuck out of it. vroom vroom! I go. Traci Lords, how I go! I make it home and turn off the ignition, sure that I was just a big goober who didn't check the gas.
An hour passes.
For peace of mind, I decide to go out and check that my bike (my bike) will start up again.
It doesn't. I'm back to thinking it may be a carbeurator, ignition, or fuel line problem.
I'm not worried though. Now I have it under my porch, where I can work on it till my heart's content.
And if I, manly man that I am, can't figure it out, at least I have the comfort of knowing that my sister's lesbian girlfriend is a mechanic and can help me fix my bike.
My bike.
