We're mechanics...ok..not really..

so, Toby's bike was not running up to par, well it wasn't even starting. It would turn over so we knew it was not the battery. So, we decided instead of letting the honda dealership tow it for $50 and pay for the cost to fix that we would try ourselves. We figured the spark plugs were a good place to start. So, two trips to two auto places later and darkness outside (had to use a flashlight) we finished. Toby started it up and guess what, it worked! We were so proud of ourselves. We also filled the coolant and put some seafoam in the gas tank. it is supposed to help clean out the bike. I have heard wonders about it. We took it out for a ride and it seemed to run a lot better tonight. We plan to not stop there and figure out how to fix just about everything on it. guess we'll see what comes next and how we make out then...but for now we are dubbing ourselves as mechanics to boost our confidence. :)
