“M” is for Motorcycle

At least that is what the clerk told me at the licensing branch. My updated drivers license arrived the other day with the new classification – CM (standard with motorcycle). I’m looking forward to putting it to use.

Varoom!
Tonight the Vespa fired up for the first time since the rebuild. It took off on the first kick (we’ll negate any previous attempts before I realized that the U.S. model Rally requires the driver to engage the front brake to release the cut-off switch)! I managed to take it around the block but the idle and air-fuel mix adjusters need a bit of tuning – it’s running a bit rich.

Next up is to get the rear turn indicators working and have it inspected. Safetly gear is also on the list. We’re getting close!
