Finally
CTEK charger disconnected, uncovered and started up. Oh that beautiful exhaust note after this looooong winter. All systems go and took out Blaze for her shakedown cruise this afternoon. Hello vette weather in Chicago! (Well almost vette weather)

I know how you feel. My first day here in Ri was last Saturday. Hit the starter button and it fired up instantly, A couple of 1st, 2nd blasts on the way to the gas station and a top off with fresh fuel. I couldn't wait to get rid of the rust on the rotors from condensation during a couple of mid winter warm days. All is well again..

Did the same last Saturday in N.Y. What a great feeling on that first After Winter cruise. Then I put the charger back on and came back to Florida for one more month. Going to Barrett Jackson Auction this Friday.

I did the same this past weekend. Such a nice feeling to remove her blanket and start her up.

Lucky you, we got 9" of snow yesterday, so I'm thinking at least 3 more weeks for me, until we get a few good rains to wash all the crap off the roads. Mine still sits in the far side of my garage plugged in and covered with my Kubota tractor/snowblower behind it. Sad part is, the snow was all gone a week ago, now it's back.
