Well, I've had my '9R for two months now, and have put 3,052 miles on. Feels really good to be back on a bike. Unfortunately, I'll have to stop riding for a short bit. Winter's coming to Minnesota, and I'm not fond of icy roads. Oh, well, time for winter projects. Not only on my bike, but my girlfriend just acquired a '74 Honda CB450. It needs some work(like replacing the ape-hangers and re-installing the original tank), but I'm excited about getting her on a bike(her first). I'm going to need lots of help with that little bike, so I may need to pick a few brains here and there. Ok, I'll stop babbling now.

Know what you mean about riding on the icy stuff! I always use winter for mods and major work too. Cool about the CB450 for your girlfriend. Just keep the oil changed frequently and the filter clean. They are a vibrating mother too! I'd use synthetic oil as the CB450's have the cam bushings/bearings pretty much at the end of the oil circuit. I rode the crap outta one when I was in High School. Course back then it was almost new! he he!
