Hello All!
Finally got my 900 (985) and 750 (810) started this year amid the stay at home/no travel/social distancing Corona Virus nightmare. Hope to get a ride or two in before I catch the shit and die.

Not exactly the first start of 2020, but the first start after much cranking to refill the float bowls a couple days previous. I went for a very short ride to blow out the carbon, abiding by the posted speed limit and traffic laws of course...
Still running great after all these years. This will be my 13th season with this beautiful machine!

Chris -
Your bike is awesome, the way you keep it so pristine with that mileage (60,000 miles!!!!!). That you ride it like it is meant to be ridden makes it even more spectacular. I hope to see you and your F (along with other F'rs) real soon!
Come on F'rs, post up a short video of your bike running! You know you have the time now. Lets hear and see them!!
Steve

This is definitely not the first start of the season since I've been out on it multiple times already. You really can't tell how loud it is from the video, but it is!

I love the looks of that bike Tom. The CBR wheels and mono-shock swing arm are very cool.
That Chris Lee pipe has some growl to it! I rode Ron's 900F with that pipe on it last time we were at the Grey Ghost Inn.
