    Followed me home last weekend

    Having had an accident in early august and having to sell my bike to help with medical bills I was feeling pretty bummed. However, things are looking up again! Brought this home last weekend. It hadn't been run in a couple of years. I cleaned the fuel tank and the fuel lines and it fired...
