First Ride on my new 2008 S40
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.
