Flyinfool Posted October 8, 2015 Share #1 Posted October 8, 2015 Woo Hoo After all of the heart crap that I went thru. I have finally got the bike out of hibernation. Just this week I used up the last of the gas that was put in the poor bike in October of LAST year. She now has a tank of fresh gas and is running much better. With the sudden onset of all my health issues I never had the opportunity to store the bike properly. It was stored with a full tank of crap gas and I simply dumped in a half can of Seafoam and some Stabil. but I could not take it out for mixing or even really lift the bike off the side stand so the gas had to mix itself. I did start it up and let it run some of the treated gas up into the carbs. But that was all I could handle as far as winter prep. First ride this year it was running pretty rough, but it seemed to get better with more miles. Once I got the fresh new gas in there with another half can of Seafoam I could feel it getting better by the mile. It is now with just a half tank of the fresh gas thru it back to its old happy self. :bikersmilie: :bikersmilie: :bikersmilie::bikersmilie::bikersmilie: Oh yea as for me. Now that the docs have started to ween me off of the heart meds, I do not get the dizzy spells that were keeping me off the bike, My last dizzy spell was back in July. So I think that I am starting to get better also October 26 is the 1 year anniversary of when my medical ordeal started. It is not yet done by a long shot, but it is headed in the right direction. With all of the heart stuff my pilots license is pretty much toast, possibly permanently (they have some silly rules). So it looks like I will get in a short riding season yet this year, just in time for the fall colors and then all to soon after that, looking to get that great big lop eared varmint from across the pond @cowpuc back in shape with his first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do feel pretty bad for that scoot of your's having had to sit for all that time.. Tell ya what brother,, why dont cha just leave the Wisconsin White Washer parked for a while and show that pretty scoot of yours some love. As far as any concern for your lop eared varmint buddy on the other side of the pond, even though he did buy a new lawn tractor that has a blower attachment, I can assure you that there would be no hard feelings on his part if this Christmas had to be a green one @Flyinfool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
