I believe the ZS automagic choke is enabled by doing that!

Indeed. I just returned from Moscow (8 miles), it's now almost
midnight. I did wuss out and roll the windows up, but otherwise the
hood is in it's proper stowed position. It's just too nice not to.
That half-dead hamster does gives out just the right amount of heat for
a drive like this was.
Only thing that made the trip less than perfect was I lost the nut that
holds my K&N filter on the base. Electrical tape to the rescue (will be
getting a proper nut and some duct tape in the morning).
