Nice one Dave. I just logged on while I'm on my meal break. Saw this & thought how much I would've enjoyed that rather than being at work.
Last year I joined a support group for procrastinators.

You know, a long time ago being crazy meant something. Nowadays everybody's crazy.

You've got to watch your back in the SSDB, this is where the clever guys get bored with bike talk and make poo jokes.
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. You know what will cure that? My special sticky buns. One lick of my sticky buns and your appetite will come right back. ~ RIP Mr. Borgnine  01/24/1917 - 07/08/2012  :'(

It hit 62 in Iowa today.  I took the 750 out and took this pic while I was running errands.



It's going to be a great year for riding!

Its 68 in Greensboro NC today so I've been out and about on the KO ;D If Im not mistaken this is the Randleman Lake Reservoir along Hwy 220 in Randleman NC. Between dodging traffic I snapped these pics. I thought some water scenery would be nice 8) This 42 year old KO goes down the hwy so good. I bought it in May of 2011 and all I've done to the engine is oil change, plugs, adjust valves, clean carbs, K&N air filter, adjust cam chain, clean points  ;) You built them good Mr. Honda.
