We didn't actually go on a test run after the repairs but decided to use the run to Fuji Speedway where the Super American Festival (SAF) was held as a test ride.\r\nThis time there were three bikes, the Midori, Orange and B. Gold.\r\nAfter leaving Honmoku, we made our first stop at Ebina (about 30km\/20mi) along the way to check the oil and rest. I sent an email to the bike shop saying, \"The bikes are running great!\" Then did some shopping and it was time to get back on the road!\r\nBut the bike wouldn't start. As we took turns kicking and kicking, the bike shop wrote back. \"Oh, testing the bike all the way out to Gotemba? Be careful if you take a break at a rest stop along the way and shut the bike down after a long ride, it might be difficult to restort!\"\r\nWhat? It's a little late for that!\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mooneyes.co.jp\/express\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/amefes-47.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mooneyes.co.jp\/express\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/amefes-47-142x190.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"amefes-47\" width=\"142\" height=\"190\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-5550\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mooneyes.co.jp\/express\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/amefes-47-142x190.jpg 142w, https:\/\/www.mooneyes.co.jp\/express\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/amefes-47-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.mooneyes.co.jp\/express\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/amefes-47-112x150.jpg 112w, https:\/\/www.mooneyes.co.jp\/express\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/amefes-47-400x533.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.mooneyes.co.jp\/express\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/amefes-47.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 142px) 100vw, 142px\" \/><\/a>\r\n\u639b\u304b\u3089\u306a\u3044\u306e\u3067\u307e\u305a\u306f\u30d7\u30e9\u30b0\u3092\u4ea4\u63db\u3001 \u53f3\u306f\u50d5\u306e\u30bb\u30eb\u30e2\u30fc\u30bf\u30fc\u306e\u30de\u30c3\u30c1\u30e3\u30f3\u3002\r\n\u3064\u307e\u308a\u30de\u30c3\u30c1\u30e3\u30f3\u306f\u30a8\u30f3\u30b8\u30f3\u59cb\u52d5\u4fc2\u308a\u3067\u3059\u3002\r\n\u30de\u30c3\u30c1\u30e3\u30f3\u306f\u3053\u306e\u6642\u70b9\u3067 B.Gold \u306e\u30df\u30e9\u30fc\u3092\u98db\u3070\u3057\u3066\u3057\u307e\u3063\u3066\u3044\u307e\u3057\u305f\u3002\r\nHaving trouble starting, we changed the plugs, on the right is my starter-motor Matchan.

However, this time while we were on the expressway it flew off at some point. So we stopped at a rest stop, loaded the Orange onto the Dually and headed out in search of a Harley-Davidson shop.

We didn't actually go on a test run after the repairs but decided to use the run to Fuji Speedway where the Super American Festival (SAF) was held as a test ride. This time there were three bikes, the Midori, Orange and B. Gold. After leaving Honmoku, we made our first stop at Ebina (about 30km\/20mi) along the way to check the oil and rest. I sent an email to the bike shop saying, \"The bikes are running great!\" Then did some shopping and it was time to get back on the road! But the bike wouldn't start. As we took turns kicking and kicking, the bike shop wrote back. \"Oh, testing the bike all the way out to Gotemba? Be careful if you take a break at a rest stop along the way and shut the bike down after a long ride, it might be difficult to restort!\" What? It's a little late for that! \u639b\u304b\u3089\u306a\u3044\u306e\u3067\u307e\u305a\u306f\u30d7\u30e9\u30b0\u3092\u4ea4\u63db\u3001 \u53f3\u306f\u50d5\u306e\u30bb\u30eb\u30e2\u30fc\u30bf\u30fc\u306e\u30de\u30c3\u30c1\u30e3\u30f3\u3002 \u3064\u307e\u308a\u30de\u30c3\u30c1\u30e3\u30f3\u306f\u30a8\u30f3\u30b8\u30f3\u59cb\u52d5\u4fc2\u308a\u3067\u3059\u3002 \u30de\u30c3\u30c1\u30e3\u30f3\u306f\u3053\u306e\u6642\u70b9\u3067 B.Gold \u306e\u30df\u30e9\u30fc\u3092\u98db\u3070\u3057\u3066\u3057\u307e\u3063\u3066\u3044\u307e\u3057\u305f\u3002 Having trouble starting, we changed the plugs, on the right is my starter-motor Matchan.
