Less Than 250km and All These Adventures

Sigh, so I suppose when you have your beloved rusting to shit all winter, you should expect to give'r some TLC come the springtime. And considering I know nothing about bikes, this involves me relying on favours from people (by the way, I still owe em a couple back). The adventures thus far. We had to get by bike boosted to take it to my friend Lyles place (just a couple blocks - but on shady roads full of gravel, with it having sat outside for too many months, and with my helmet being so scratched I couldn't see out of it). Lyle took some time, bought her some stuff, and had her oil changed, new spark plugs and all shined up! Wicked - ROADTRIP! I rode'r to Canmore, did me a hike, and came back home. She died at the gas station :( Sat there for 2 days :( So... her batteries a little dead.... Ordering a new battery... blah blah blah... Waiting for it to come it, blah blah blah, replacing it, yadda yadda, then - standing outside of my house with my helmet and some booster cables seeing what kinda nice soul wanted to let me go for a lift! But my baby's got juice, and so I rode out to Bragg Creek. Nice ride, little bit'a'rain... Came back home - no license plate. Sigh, of course it would be the long weekend and I'm not brave enough to ride without a plate. I waited a few days and got me a new one - came home to put'er on - bikes been towed. This long and boring story goes on for a while. Guess love take a lot of work - we shall see the tough times through.
