Carbs got clogged a bit on mine - she sat idle for too long - was a lightly-used bike I rode around campus 30 years ago - basically to class and back - IF it would start.
I intended to get her running this summer - car problems superseded all that and other plans - bike is super-low miles (way less than 10,000). I only put maybe 1,500-1,600 miles on her and have had it for almost 35 years.
Nom with cell-phone drivers, people under the influence of va666ines, dope, general stupidity - no way I’d get out and ride. Maybe the 3 blocks to the gas station but that’s about it.
Totally agree!
