From there I rode back home, packed a water bottle in the boot, and headed off for a ride. I went out thru Belmont and Lexington to Lincoln, spent some time practicing low speed turns in a school parking lot, and then headed over to Greater Boston Motor Sports to look at jackets.

I got an Olympia Motor Sports GT Air three-piece jacket; bye-bye, cheap leather.
It started to rain moments after I got home. Good Karma (bikema?)
While on the ride, I noticed a few things to check into:
- The idle speed seems a bit high. It's supposed to be 1500 RPM; it seems to be closer to 1800 or even higher.
- It occurred to me that the original owner is from Colorado; I wonder if the engine is set to run lean?
- I did some hard braking in the parking lot (30-MPH to a dead stop as quickly as I could); afterwards, it seems like the front brake was rubbing every rotation for a brief period after the hard braking. Problem?
