JUST DO IT!!!

Just do it!!! (Fiction)


1

The cold days of winter are gone; leaves are sprouting among the branches of the trees, kids frolicking in their yards. It’s time to have fun after the long days of winter solitude. The roads are no longer covered with thin sheet of ice and for bikers; this is the time to travel and wander around the streets for fun and to visit friends and kin’s.

I think I’d better bring my bike in the yard and take it for a test run around the block. Tomorrow I’m going to climb Mt. Dakngato and stay in my forest cabin for a few weeks. Winter had been worst and snow had piled up to more than two feet. I can’t believe that I had survived these long cold months hibernating alone in this house. Jackiis thought, feeling great relief at the coming of springtime.

He brought his motorcycle out in the yard in front of the garage and cleaned it thoroughly with a pail of water and a handful of washing detergent. He wiped it dry and starts the engine. It failed to start. He tried again…and again, until the tenth time. He thinks. Electronic ignition rarely goes wrong. The pistons didn’t seize. It should be the battery or the spark plugs. Three months is a long time to keep the engine untouched. I should have run it every three days or maybe even only every week.

Realizing his mistake, he almost wants to bang his head in the garage wall. He didn’t expect this thing to happen and now he must spend more time inside the garage to try to repair it.

All winter, he busied himself inside his library reading books and writing a fiction novel that is half-finish. He needs a break from his months in isolation. Instead, he got an unexpected extension.

One of the things that he can be proud of about himself is that he always keeps an extra battery in the shelf. He also has extra spark plugs and a four gallon capacity container filled with premium gasoline.

This attitude paid off. After only an hour work, he manages to start the engine.

He thinks. Boy, you’re a genius keeping those extras.

He’s Happy for a job easily done. He’s now ready for the ride. He pushed the start button and the engine starts. He twists the throttle to rev the engine, brrrmmm…sounds good. He slowly releases the clutch, the bike runs a few feet forward and the engine dies. He did it again, to his dismay, the engine weakens and dies. Oh Boy! The engine’s got no power. He thought and struggles to bring the bike back in the garage.
