On the positive side - no more fiddling with the carbie/engine/whatever the hell you do with it the few days there is no breeze.
That's no positive. I actually enjoyed tinkering with it. I could pay someone else to adjust the jetting or rebuild the heads, but it brings with it a certain sort of satisfaction that is hard to find in other parts of life.
Back on topic, at 13 I was just able to cycle from the farm into town on my mountainbike, so a new level of freedom was becoming known to me.
