I did replace the airfilter so I'm going to say it was the choke that is flooding it.

I began my second ride and got a mile down the road, but at a stopsign, I put my feet down and heard a metallic cling at first I thought something had gone wrong with the motor as it was pretty loud. Luckily, I looked under the bike and saw a part of my shifter linkage rolling away. The bolts had vibrated loose. I hand tightened them back up and got most of the way back home until it fell off again. I was close enough to home to just ride very slowly and coast down the hills in first gear to my garage! That situation could have gone much worse! Now they are torqued much more than before and I hope that won't happen again. I may have to apply some loctite to ensure this.

As for winter, I would have to agree with your comment. I'm not a fan of the cold as I am a very cold natured person. I loose all feeling in my fingers due to really bad blood circulation.. I want the warmth of summer back!
