Commuter

I totally rode my bike to work this morning. And, except that I was 15 minutes late because I had troubles starting it, things went smoothly. The roads are wet because of all the rain we have had, but we had no problems going in. I go pretty slowly though. Good thing there isn't much traffic at 7am in Muncie. I was a little unhappy about it not starting well though. Last night I had no problems because Will rode it over to my house from the shop, so it started right up with the button. This morning however, it almost turned over, but not quite, about 2 or 3 times, then nothing. So I tried to kick it (and of course ended up hurting myself over and over again), but I got it started after a few tries. In all honesty, I probably should have gotten up sooner and anticipated some of these issues, but I am pretty lazy so I walked out to the garage at about 10 till and tried to start it. It's weird to me that the bike eventually started, but then as soon as I throttled it, it died. I think I need to get better at adjusting the choke when it's cold. I remember that about my old bike. You just have to figure out how it wants to be started. We'll get there. Watch out for bikes!
