I've owned this F1A since the mid '90's but it's been under a cover in the garage for 6 yrs. It joined by a hot rodded '93 900SS and of the four wheel version, an '84 Porsche 911.

The other day, after seeing a couple at the Ducati Island at the Indy MotoGP I decided to get this back on the road again. Here's a picture shot by a friends cell phone just as I was taking the cover off after 6 years.

I gassed it up, put some fresh plugs in it, a new battery and it fired right up. However, the clutch is leaking. After taking the cover off there's some neon green corrosion inside so it looks like I have some work to do before getting it road worthy. Just a new seal for the cover bearing.

Nonetheless. I hope to participate here and look forward to seeing what you all are doing.

For those of you keeping track, my VIN is ZDM3AA3L6FB 000493
