Default 600 bhp

It's 52 degrees here in Maine today ( I know big deal ) but it's the warmest day of the year so far, so I headed out to the garage to fire up my babies!!! First my 08 coupe she purred like a kitten. then the yamaha Vmax 20th Anniversary Edition with a kerker pipe thundered to life. I cant even put into words the joy of the sounds and smells that wafted from my garage this afternoon. between the Vette the the bike there was 600 hp running and I cant be any more happy about it...life is good

Good to hear you being able to fire up your toys, now to get them out and on the road.

Hang in there, spring showers should clean the roads soon and will melt the remaining snow. I will be up your way in June, but I have to bring my pickup this year. Glad your rides made the winter.
