    its a great experience every time.

    that last moment of "did I do it all right" just before you turn the key

    that nag of doubt when you hear the first unfired compression stroke wind off

    the fret of "is that ticking noise the lifters oiling up or the sign of something worse to come."

    the elation when it just sits there idling just begging you "go on, snap the butterfly, you know you want to."

    I tell ya Dave . My heart was in my throat just before the first hit of the key. But when it fired and idled I couldn't get the grin off my face .
