Nice pics BB. First part of the year I was up on the BRP on my 750K6, very nice riding. I wasn't able to ride in the rally this, but I hope I can next year. BB I know last year or so you where having some trouble with your 750. It must be running fine now if you just cranked off 650 miles ;D

 Yeah D, I dumped that lousy Dyna and went back to points and she runs like Mr. Honda intended her to, I'l never have another electronic gizmo on her again! Next year I plan on riding the entire length of the BRP, starting in Cherokee and then continue on to the Shenandoah Valley Parkway, I'll let you know when, probably late May.

50 degrees and just a little cool for me but the KO runs good at this temp. About a 1/2 mile down this dirt road when I stopped for this quick pic and than turned back around and got back on main hwy.

There are three operating ferries in Tennessee, and this is one of them.. about 75 miles NW of Nashville in Cumberland City.

If it's worth doing, it's worth doing twice.

Went for a 150 mile ride up around Kinzua Dam in Pennsylvania Friday during the 75° weather.

My camera on my phone is not the best quality.

Love your bike James, she looks awesome!

Good looking 550 Cosmic ;) Its the twin brother of the 76 CB550 I had 36 years ago only difference is mine still had the original pipes. Man I wish I had held on to that bike. How long have you had yours?

Thanks, I picked it up last August.  Typical story, it had sat for years in a shed and only had 9000 miles on it.  The only thing I've done is replace the seat which was a rat's nest and change the mirrors.  It runs like a dream and I've put over 3000 miles on it this summer.

 Andy, I know Duxbury beach well, we have friends in Plymouth that we visit and I always love going there. I need to ride up to New England next summer, it is so scenic there.
