I made the mistake of riding an old BMW airhead this afternoon instead of the reliable TW.
I decided that running an unnecessary errand in a town 18 miles away was a good excuse for getting some fuel through the old bike. It ran great on the way there, but slowly started running worse and worse on the way back, eventually dieing about 4 miles from home. Pretty sure the carbs got clogged up.
Luckily the rescue trailer was already hooked up from moving firewood earlier today, and my wife had an easy time getting it to me (she doesn't like trailers).
All motorcycles are cool. Some are nicer to look at than others. None are fun to have to trailer home (the ride of shame).
