1st drive of the season

The weather cooperated today so, we fired ol' Blacky up and took 3 trips around the lake. She ran great and felt so good to drive her. My son has gotten into making videos for you tube, so he made a camera mount that fits in the ash tray and we had to take Blacky out for a short drive to test it. Here is the result.

Nice! From the sound of your gear shifting it seems you have those synchro things, I don’t so I can’t wind it up like that.

Love the patina of the hood, runs smooth.

Awesome! I was watching and realized I knew the one road. Rt 18 Conneaut Lake!? Sure enough... Great back roads to drive on (once the winter pot holes are filled). Been that way on my bike many times. Hopefully this summer with the truck.
