My back was bothering me, and it was after work, but the kids hadn’t arrived home. Time to ride! Since it’s been a couple of weeks since I rode my 1979 KZ650SR, I thought I’d give her a workout.
Pushing the starter button didn’t get her running (you’d balk at running too, if you sat for 2 weeks straight!), but a couple of kicks (she’s got a kick-starter in addition to the electric starter, yay for old bikes!) got her running. Settled into a nice, off-choke idle, tires pumped to the proper pressure, it was time to go!
It was a 35-40 mile ride, just over an hour, but it reset my back, my mind, and I felt better when I arrived home. Halfway through the ride I stopped to snap a few pics, enjoy!
