Missed it by that much
« on: March 10, 2021, 02:02:02 PM »
It was a nice day today, and my Daughter told me she wanted me to take her on the motorcycle to softball practice this afternoon.  After doing a quick after-winter safety check, a quick spray of starting fluid.  My '75 750F sprung to life on 6 month old gas...

After I dropped her off, realized I missed an excellent picture opportunity. >:(

Close, but I  nailed it on my truck last week. Too bad it isn't paid off though.

I also got it on my truck a couple weeks ago.

You must have really been looking out for that one! At that speed you only had 4.5 sec. to grab the pic.
