Andy, I really wish I had friends with 750's that wanted to take nice rides like this. Hell, I never even see a 750 in the Davenport, Iowa area. looks like a nice day and nice views and that is what it is all about. Dan

great pictures from past adventures :)

Thanks, I just found them. My mother passed away a couple of months ago, and I am going through her boxes of old pictures--finding these treasures. One of these days, I get my slides converted, and then I can post some real adventure pics from my K7 in North Africa. Anyhow, what I learn here is: wives come and go, your Honda stays by your side no matter what. And, if you take good care of it, it will always look as good as the day you first met. That's 2:0 in favor of my Honda. :)

sorry to hear about your mother, my condolences.
i've got tons of slides that beg to be scanned. so far i couldn't muster the time or money to even just scan the best ones but these services must be getting cheaper, so one day...

Spring is almost done and most of the leaves are now out.  The Trilliums are starting to fade.

Almost making it to the road...

I crossed the border today an tested twisty roads in France: no traffic, no police, no hazzle.

Nearly: main-fuse broken, after only 40 years of use! Yap engineer anticipated that and added spares.
After a quick change the ride went on.

Was a beautiful day.

Road to work today for the first time on this bike, 50+ miles one way.  The bike is a work in progress, rebuilt the engine over the winter, next winter she will get paint.
