Funny how different things mean different things to people. What I really like about these old girls is the opening cowl vent.

Nice job Fatboy.

Nice vanishing act Fat,

I find with the louvres and heat off the motor I dont use mine much, however down the freeway with more airflow, I usually crank the vent open.

I'm with you guys, I love drivin' with the cowl vent open. After the FC there hasn't been one produced with a cowl vent, so i think my car is pretty unique.
