Literal and figurative traverses of basin and range

Vroom!

As mentioned in a prior post or two, my motorcycle has been broken down for a while. I screwed up what should have been a straightforward repair back in mid-December and spent the next month-and-a-half fixing it in increments, fearful that I'd mess things up again. I finally closed the engine back up today, added the oil, and fired it up. Though just mentioning this could jinx everything, I think it's working fine and the cases might even be oil-tight.

Unfortunately, it's now leaking fuel from the petcock, a likely consequence of too much down time. It only leaks in the "on" position and not on the "off" or "reserve" settings, so I can probably wait a while before repairing it. I need this thing running so I can back off the bike commuting and maybe have enough strength left at the end of the week to go mountain biking with Veelz. Or not. I think I might just be momentarily tired of dealing with two-wheeled vehicles.
