First spring drive

Got the 52’ out today for the sunrise service. First time Dallas has been out since December. Drove perfect and no issues which kinda surprised me. The gas in her is at least 6 months old, but she didn’t seem to mind! It was a great day all around. Happy Easter guys!

Drove my 52 today too, only to dry it off after I washed it inside and out.

Finished up the final checks on my 48 yesterday. My 19 year old daughter helped me adjust the brakes and check the fluids. We then went for a short drive, she’s running great but I still have my left rear brake too tight, on the next non rainy day I’ll back it off a few clicks. Felt good to get her out on the road.
