Got my bike roadworthy again this week. Figured out that that broken throttle was heart of problem. Today I rode bike to my barber's shop about 7 miles down a curvy, hilly rural road. I really didn't know if the bike would pull some of those hills but it did beautifully. I approached the base of the hill at about 30 mph and watched the speedometer decline gradually to about 20. But surprisingly enough, there was no groan or sputter. The bike did admirably and I now remember what it is about riding the motor bike that I enjoyed so much before. Bike had been put away almost ever since move from FL 3 years ago. It just wouldn't perform here like it did in FL. Guess the Throttle was damaged in the move. Anyway, I am ecstatic to have my ride back. In process of trying to work on the bike, I learned a good bit about the carborator. Still no mechanic but carbs and now throttles are no problem for me. Little by little, I'm learning more. This too is part of the thrill of motor biking.
