Out of hibernation

[Tophatron]

Well I took the old girl out from hibernation this weekend, a 450 I bought last year but have only been able to drive a few times. I was expecting some issues but after connecting the battery she just turned over and fired up like I'd just been out yesterday. A nice drive to blow the cobwebs out and I was grinning from ear to ear. I forgot just how f****ing quick they are..

I hope the weather says good, and that she stays co-operative!

Considering mine is blue I'll agree with all of that!

The forum is a great resource, but I stopped reading it for a bit as I got scared seeing all the things that could go wrong with mine!
