Title: First Ride on my new 2008 S40
Post by backgammondog on 04/18/09 at 11:26:02

Picked her up nice and early from the dealer yesterday with 0.3 total miles on her. Jumped on her and off I went for my first time in the saddle in 20+ years! She was sweet, I was gentle. Decided to take her out on some quiet country roads to get to know her. Sixty seven miles out, doing around 50 mph, she gave a little sputter, let out a series of loud pows, and took a snooze. Took me a couple hours to wake her up. Apears that she loosened a connector on the back of the ignition switch. I forgave her, and we were off and running again on what hopefully will be a long life together.

Sometimes she'll want to be ridden rough.

I'm just guessing. ::)

To wander doesn't mean you are lost.
Enjoy the ride(s)!

When you are lost, it's best to wander on a m/c till you find yourself. ;D
