| | Re: bicycle motor running fine! I was talking to Norman yesterday just as I got off work. He wanted to get the motorized bikes out and do a little riding yesterday evening. The weather was really nice. I should've went, but my wife had beer and pizza waiting. You gotta get those priorites right....................

| | Re: bicycle motor running fine! Cruiser- There is no such thing as bad weather, just improper clothing.
Uh, at least that's what they say.....I am comfortable riding my motorized bicycle or motorcycle down to around 50 degrees, but after that I have to put on waaay too much clothing to be warm.
My bigger problem right now is the garage is snowed in and even if I did get the snow moved, I couldn't get the bike(s) up to the road. (no driveway to the back garage yet, just mud.)

| | Re: bicycle motor running fine! I have ridden down to thirty five degrees. It was part of my requirements to stop driving a car. I had to be able to ride the bike at least two times a week. that should get enough errands run to take care of me. So I looked at the weather and usually even in the winter here it will get above 35 degrees at some point in the day at least twice a week.
It was not a fun ride, but I could have ridden a couple of miles to the store and warmed up then rode back. But I love riding in 60 and 70 degree weather but I'm going to hate that motorcycle helmet in the summer months I can tell already. I'm wondering if I can't get away with a bike helmet. |

I checked the electricals and everything seems OK I also checked the carb and it seems to be getting gas so I have no clue at all. any help would be much appreciated |

Alsio, make sure you are choking it enough.
