I like my women a little big. Natural. Now, they shave this and wax that. It's not right. I love natural women. Big women. This trend in women has to go. Bulomia, anorexia. That's just wrong.

Nice, when I'm too old and frail to hold my bike up, I'm gonna get me a Trike! ;D
I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

Yesterday I took the fj up to Mt Mee just out of brisbane.   I recently did the valves and carby's and it's running  great.  Being mid week there was bugger all traffic, only had to overtake 1 car.

Ha ha, well all jokes aside, there will come a time when I'm old and frail, but I can't see my love of motorcycling dimming with my memory, so if I can't hold up a big bike (and I couldn't stand the thought of riding anything smaller than a 750) then a trike would be a great alternative.

There's a guy on the "Naked Goldwing" site who triked a 'Wang like mine and did a great job, and he loves it, so I'd certainly consider triking my magnificent 'Wang in years to come, but one of the factory Harley trikes would be a great option too.

My 87 year old Dad has dementia really bad, so if I'm looking down the barrel of "terminal confusion" in years to come, some sort of GPS "homing device" would be a wonderful option too............ ;D

I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

Absolutely stunning weather in Middle Tennessee this past weekend. Took the CB1000 up to Bowling Green - there is a new road track at the Corvette Museum there, and the Midwest Cafe Racer club was there tearing it up. Stopped by this gem on the way: until recently it was a bar on the Tennessee side, and a strip club on the (dry) Kentucky side.
If it's worth doing, it's worth doing twice.

Thanks.  Rides very smooth and the suspension is tight, motor is not quite 100% yet, needs a full tune up.

Two totally different animals, dhall. The H1 is a medium size, relatively lightweight  "toy" bike. The Z is a tall, full size "big boy" bike that is perfect for the highway, H1 not so much.  Both sound awesome but totally different.  Come on over, I'll let ya take each for a test ride!
