That was always one of my favorite days. Getting the car out of hibernation for the first time in the spring.

The only good thing about this bad weather is that it gives you time to clean up and mod.
I just pulled the cover off the other day and plan on spending the next 2 weeks polishing. And then the cover will go back on until spring!

It sure was great to pop the top on January 2 and ride. The abnormal 75 degree sunny day in Tennessee was a preview of what is to come: Summer Road Trips!!
