Running a little late this year. I usually have the F-2 out of storage before this but it's just been too damn crappy out.

One of it with it's winter cover of dust and bird poop. The second is today after it got a quick bath. It started on the first try last night and just keeps going. Oh yeah, the humidity must have been low this year, the steering didn't swell this year. In fact there actually more room between the wheel and me this year.

Was two weeks ago, then into shop for injector repairs and install of valve covers.

Will hopefully have picture this next week, when I have it re-assembled.

Good to hear that the spring thaw didn't have a growth factor. Gotta have a pic, Bob.

That was strange, I know I had pictures attached when I posted before, maybe I did something wrong. I don't know but now there's pictures.
