Went for a nice ride on Sunday before I had to spend some time at a family dinner with a jackass uncle-in-law. My wife said I had to go blow off some steam before I saw him. I love that woman. The road I took is normally great... but after this really hard winter almost all the nice backroads around me are full of potholes. Some scary hairy spots, that's for sure!

Took the honda to the Ontario Norton Owners club meeting last night. Even the Britt-kids loved a little Japaneese rumbling thunder of Olivia. Lol

Finally got my K6 ready for the road. She's not as clean as a lot of the bikes I've seen you folks post in this thread, but still a beauty to me!
This is overlooking the Rockies, just NW of Calgary, AB, Canada.
