Since mid July? A ride worth taking
« on: September 28, 2006, 04:09:08 PM »
 :-\  time slipped away until 2 and a half months went by... walked out to the garage, cranked the 350 up and cough cough, 2 maybe 3 cylinders firing. 

a warm up time of about 7-8 minutes was necessary and off we went.  in and out of good performance for another 10 blocks and BAM... all 4 like none were ever missing.   ;D  was only gonna take a short run cuz yesterday i tried to start it and it was cold and uncooperative... but, it ran so well after warming up today i took off w/out a helmet and was into the wind.

here's a pic of one happy 350 owner... cheese!

i debated whether to just add the pic w/out me but, it seems that i made the right choice so that you all could laugh all day. 

here's another goofy mug at my expense.
