Better "Sweet Maria" than the Black!
Saw one flying years ago, she was bound to a meeting the other side of the Léman lake, in Switzerland.
We heard her approaching from far behind the mountain and we could see her long and clearly (maybe only 2000ft over us) when she flew straight toward Vevey. With my parents we rushed to the garden and they both had a curious glimpse to each other. Later they told me they had recognized the sound of the piston engines, the last time they had heard it there were many many more rumbling together as it was during the war, when the Allies every day were bombing the La Chapelle marshalling yard (they were living the next street to the railway bridge) North of Paris and it was a mixed souvenir of shear joy and fear.
That's very fair of you, you know I dig micarta!
I started early to be bad to the bone

I love motorcycling, though had only 3 in my life, the last one in need of running in since rebuild after 240 000km, but covid and silly regulations don't help these days as JM stated above...
