    Cheers Paul, yours doesn't look like too much of a scrubber either mind!

    Not sure about the r/r, was on the machine when I got it....
    It's smoke that make electronic components work.
    Every time I've let the smoke out by mistake, they never work again.

        I took the ES out for a good run. That elec tach is NOT accurate. My motor spins up faster that it reads & I have to shift by ear & "feel". Bike runs strong & smooth.

        Today I will ride the 1123 "super" F.

        PERFECT weather in Michigan right now!

          I DID ride the F yesterday. Well, sorry my GS brothers, but My 1100F is just so much better all around than the E or ES(which I adore) I can see why it was the "big" seller(cb1100 f= $3698.00, GS1100ES = $4350.00) $650.00 doesn't seen like much BUT it is a HEAVY %.

          All are GREAT bikes. The CB has much better brakes(ss lines on both)& maybe the OHLINS make a dif on the Honda too.

          They sho looks pretty sittin' side by side!!!!!

            SCOOTER "hot" laps.

            Wellll...Due to poor planning, my insurance on the cycle lapsed for the first time in 20+ years . Renewed it by phone, and im awaiting a new id card. Today, we recieved our neighbors mail, and they did not recieve ours my card is being held hostage by the USPS
            I did do some scooter laps around the neighborhood to my great enjoyment, the last with the baffle removed. Childish prehaps, but that 70 cc ring dinger cackle was fun to hear...Besides i passed 5 parties, so no silence was disturbed

            When consulting the magic 8 ball for advice, one must first ask it "will your answers be accurate?"

                We headed down to the Laverda Concours show today, perfect weather for it (although I'm quite sunburnt).

                Had a nice ride over Mt Glorious and Mt Nebo, then met the rest at Rocklea and we all headed down to the show.

                4 Katanas, a Trumpy, a GSXR 750, and my 450 made the trip, and there were a couple of other guys we met up with down at the show.





                Will come back and post a link shortly once I've posted the ride report thread...

                          Calgary - Canmore

                          Earl (ZX14) and I decide to do a Patrol around the Vector, north & west of Cochrane (Horse Creek Rd to Grand Valley Rd).
                          Here Earl does the motorcycle equivalent of a Squeegie Kid ,,.. "Clean your Visor Sir?"



                          We make good time, so decide to ride the old 1A HWY to Canmore.






                          The most Dangerous part of the day was the Tim Hortons parking lot in Canmore.
                          My bike almost got knocked over twice,,..


                          Ok lady, put the Tim Bits on the bike seat, back away, and no one gets hurt,,..

                              BrownCOunty, Bedford, Ohio River, MotoGP

                              Last week my son and I and DIL rode to Bedford IN on 1st day (stayed at Jays Rosemount. He was as accommodating as always. Had towels on our bikes in the morning).
                              Took a full day trip out to the east and then south to Ohio RIver, across into Kentucky, and then back across and further west, and then back to Bedford.
                              An other day was around Bedford area to Medora, then to Nashville and then plans changed due to mechanical problems (but that is a different story.And, no it wasn't my 30 year old bike that had the problem.)




                              THen to Indy for MotoGP (but that is yet another story, or two, or three.

                              .
