So today I decided to take Mydol for a spin. It was different almost foreign to me to hop on her, to start her up and to ride her. She is a different girl then the Submarine and there are some things I missed so fast on the Submarine and some things that took me a few miles of putting around on some back roads to remember why I love Mydol.
I only took me to the end of the driveway to remember I have NO MUSIC on Mydol... Not just no I pod, but NOTHING, no radio and no cd player. I guess it is official this makes me a total Yuffie biker now... ( Young urban failure ...LOL )
I can not ride with out music and It only took a few miles to remembered the strange looks I would get from some people. I knew they thought I was crazy when riding on Mydol because I would be signing to myself going down the road, bopping my head around to a beat only I knew or could hear...
I missed my fuel injection at first, I had almost forgot how to turn the gas on. It is automatic when on the Submarine, turn her on and wait for light to go out hit button and the Submarine roars to life. On Mydol you have to choke her when she is cold and let her warm up, yep fuel injection beats calibration hands down. But once Mydol warmed up she ran like a charm, she did not miss a beat and I was proud of her
The most important thing I had forgotten is how Mydol corners and how I can dip her deeper and faster then the Submarine. I know it is the weight difference but Hell me and Mydol could Tango if I so felt like it. Mydol with the smaller frame then the Submarine really makes for a faster ride through the corners and it did not take me long on the lake road to remember how good she handled.. She was always good at racing through some twists and bank's...:D
