              Thanks Norm and Trevor, there were some days in January when I could have gotten out too, but today was too nice to pass up. There'll be more winter yet, but it won't be long now...

                  I worked at my part time, motorcycle funding job 7-3 today (tomorrow overtime for BC Family day..oh the parts I can buy. ) and rode the Beemer to work. Then came home took the 81 1100 out then Rob called me to borrow some cleaning products for the 78 750 he completed to sell. So I grabbed my 750 and rode it over to Rob's house.

                  The bike looks great! Nice job Rob.

                      LOl...pretty much. I love riding my 750 around the Island. I would love to go on bigger trips but the two 1100 are much better for that.

                        Emmm... Sounds like an excellent excuse to get another 750 for myself... I loved mine, best city bike I've owned. Thanks!

                          Back before I "knew better" I rode my first streetbike- a Kawi LTD 550 everywhere, including road trips.....and had a blast. Times have changed and I love the big bike power and especially the torque, but as I age I can see my self maniacally twisting a small bikes neck...for fun of course.....

                            Funny Rob and I were just talking about that very thing today. Back in the day I wouldn't think twice about riding a 750 across the country. Of course that was before I ever owned a litre bike.
