I wish I'd timed at least one jaunt on the R-10s; I even wore a watch with a second hand back then, for Pete's sake!The old timers took that downhill nicely - no brakes applied going past 103rd. Just out of curiosity, is there a quick way to tell which end is which? Just before we got going from Court St., one of the crew came up front to release the handbrake; the lever was up front on 1300. |
