Thursday was a productive day for me. I started out helping my brother finalize a speech he'd been working on. I then mowed the lawn and put some work in using my pressure washer. I got the kayaks sprayed off and rinsed out, did the kitchen trash can, and cleaned up some pavement near the driveway. I also sprayed the mower (what a difference!) and hit my minibike with the water too.
I spent some additional time detailing that little machine and maintenanced the chain. The clutch needed lubed up too, I checked my oil, and I filled the tires. With nearly a full tank of gas, I was good to go cruising! And that I did.
I traveled over eight miles on my little hog, and it ran like a champ! There's this one spot at which I've been thinking about going fishing and I wanted to check it out, so I made the trip. I only halfway serviced my clutch, and it gave me a few hiccups along the way, but everything else was just about perfect. My chain could be a little tighter as well, I suppose, but I'm happy to report no major problems.
Now, this here is something of a minibike appreciation blog, but I'd also like to use it as an opportunity to remind you to do what you love. Even if it's been a while- especially if it's been a while, do what makes you smile! I had forgotten how much joy a simple little cruise could bring me, and even though I ride a full-sized motorcycle; my mini's always a ton of fun.
Let's get up, get out, and have a great time!
