What a way to start the day. Had a spare, so it added a few minutes to my morning. Carefully cleaned the dust from around the plug, swapped, started and rode.

NBD, but what the fuck?

If you're permanently in SoCal, you might want to adjust your carburetor a bit leaner (I think - it's been a while since I had a carbureted bike). That said, an 80s two-cylinder isn't going to be that loud with stock exhaust, even with the choke. Certainly, quieter and less annoying than a leaf-blower or a Harley-rider revving unnecessarily in their driveway.

Opposite, went from socal up north. She definitely likes the cooler, denser air.

Just gotta keep her covered overnight, not much else my broke ass can do.
