That must be Minnesota. Never been there but my last project bike that has not run for 30 years had Minnesota plates which said just that. (10000 lakes).
Gee, I'll bet you have to be careful riding there. Being extra careful not to miss a corner and end up in a lake.
Still, it must be preferable to the land of 10000 Axe murderers.

Welcome from Texas, the land of cheap, crappy gasoline!  [currently $1.90/gallon and 10% ethanol]

Michigan also has 10,000+ lakes.  Everyone must have a boat?!

Just trying to not use the same greeting all the time.  (I can see the biggest lake out the front window, Lake Superior)

Hi all

glad to see so many passionate members.
So far I am awaiting delivery of a 1971 CB500K0 in a bad shape and a 1974 CB350F1 in even worse shape 
i m sure i will be back asking for advice.

the cb500 needs tank sealing, new head gasket and carb/disc reset as they are stuck
while the CB350 will need a full engine rebuild as it s low on compression plus has some bits missing.

I thought i get the 350 as a side project but i am falling in love more and more with the little one. i realised that the 350 was an ambitious but ultimately failed project and only 10.000 were produced before the CB400 replaced it.

will keep you posted
