Default Winter blues

No projects this year, wahoo!....except perhaps a new front tire before spring, but LOTS of time for that.

still thinking about new floorboard pans (mine are ground down / bent / otherwise abused), and perhaps a new front fender if I can ever find one that strikes my fancy.

went out to the garage to drain the carb, took a quick vid.

the dragula doesnt help hide any power, especially when the damned things moving so much air it almost whistles

never quick snap the throttle - way to much reciprocating mass

you can actually spit the slipper piston it has sideways in the cylinder

roll it on and off - it has all the power you will need to do what ever you want just behave

Default Winter Blues is Tough...

I took and edited a video into 3 sequences on a real cold winter day. It was definitely worth it, but now all I have is the videos to keep me warm. Believe me it helps. Hope it helps others. Use head phones and crank it up.....
