My “first ride” didn’t happen. My son-in-law helped me push the bike up from the basement and outside, and I started checking the bike over to ensure it was ready for its first ride.
I noticed the tank wasn’t full, so I filled it up. Gas soon poured out of what I would learn was called the “overflow valve” on the carburetor.
I couldn’t get the new blinkers to work.
And I couldn’t get it to start. After an exhausting 30-60 minutes of fruitless labor, I locked up the bike and went inside tired and irritated.
