Free again to ride! And no sore knees!
At 20:22 I pedaled once and suddenly was zooming up the driveway. Then came the very steep hill. Slight pedal'ing and up I went!
One stop to check bolts and belts visually and away I went up the ridge road. The sun was starting to set. To the top, the very top.
Then down the ridge to the main road. I found a somewhat flat section and registered about 28 mph. The more the engine ran, it seemed to gain strength.
Various porch sitters, flower tenders, and road walkers watched me go by. I took it down into a field, picked and ate some blackberries, reached behind me and easily started the engine eventhough I was on the seat.
I returned to the humble abode at 21:09 with 9.4 miles covered.
I'll see how my body does. I did do some purposely-pedaling.
Originally I could feel stronger vibration around 22-24 mph. However, this decreased at I rode the road.
Sound: A little like the old mini-bikes. Also, the faster you ride the less the rider hears the sound. No one scowled at me as I rode past. I could also easily hear my cellphone bluetooth earpiece.
It is good to be mobile again.

The only way to travel... on a sunny day. Fillerup with 32 Cents. Found a nickle on the ground so it actually only cost me 27 cents. Full throttle gives 26-28 miles per wee-little tank.

Update: Oct 1, 2009 : 35 cents to fill up with premium.
