Nope.... Honda's for the OL to ride.
The 1600 will always be my primary bike.

Depending on the condition of the SS, it'll be a parts bike for the K, be restored to cafe trim and thrash the canyons once a month....


...or a chopper

Stargate, where did you get your bike powder coated at. I live in Arkansas, and liked the job they did. If you can, PM the name of the place, I'd appreciate it.

Well it's definitely too quiet around here with Tina gone. Looks like you guys had a pretty good ride. I will have to say it looks like you guys have worse roads than we do. Saw a lot of crack patching on the first half of your ride. It also looks a lot colder there than it is here. Trees have turned more than ours and you've got more leaves on the ground than we do.
