I got my '77 Ski Sporter waxed and ready to go in last night (finally) and thought I'd shoot a couple videos of it running in the driveway. I thought I'd share them here.

Nice. Sounds good, brings back memories. I always like to have my drive down when running/revving.

Running full up is very hard on the U joints and the upper gear case bearing. But it does sound some good, have a goos summer.

I usually put it down but I was hurrying last night...too many things to do, too little time. :doh: This was an isolated occurrence. :angel:

Sounds great! When are you getting it in the water?

Hopefully Sunday. We had a cold, rainy spring here in Michigan and now I'm way behind. I would have liked to have launched it at the end of May.
