The Rusty Cowl

Brought (back) home my Kinetic TFR. I consider this to be the first bike I got. It was a gift from my wife for Christmas. I finally got it started a couple years ago, but never had the time and interest in riding it. So I loaned it to Stephan for he and his room mate to enjoy. Stephan bought a few more jets and found this old 4" headlight to make it street legal. Thanks Stephan.

It started with the first kick, but died out from too much air. Jetting was right, but not for the lack of a filter in the air box. I replaced that and it was golden.

I swapped out the moped style high bars for a flat handlebar from a mountain bike donor and rode it to Kroger for some food items. I had no lock, so I wedged it into the bike rack and hoped no one would take it. It was still there.

So I took it off road. I explored the whole construction site at Colerain and Virginia in Northside. And it kept going. Less the headlight, which was a 6volt item. I replaced it with a 12v bulb, and it works gloriously.

Next up, a vanity windscreen. Cute huh?
