Starting problem

Met a young woman in Daytona Beach who's been on the road since November. She's been traveling all over the continent, stopping to take quick part-time jobs when she runs out of money. She started her journey from Toronto and has been using the "Couch Surfers" network to find inexpensive lodging on her journey. And get this: She's riding a 250cc Ninja!!

Here she is in front of my friend's house (he hosts "Couch Surfers"): http://tinyurl.com/klbjvhv

So don't be afraid to take long trips on your 650cc scooters! If she can, so can you!

Free spirits like that are amazing. Had breakfast yesterday at the golf club with a group of older gentlemen - average age 91. One guy who is 96 and full faculties remembers going across Canada in his twenties after university on a 50cc Harley with a saxophone on his back playing in bars and clubs to earn some money. Sure it took him months but a great adventure for sure.
 
Back to the starting problem. It appears that the ECU update did the job, I haven't had any further problems with starting. I would feel awful if my scooter was laid up, I love my K bike, it's a lot of fun but this GT is going to be my main ride until I hang up my helmet for good.
