    I agree! Nice to not have a chain to worry about. 150 h.p. never hurts either! Honda came close with the 1200, but just needs to do a Gen 2 1200. Honda's direction right now is different than it was in the 80's, or even the 00's. Hard to know if they'll produce anymore enthusiast type models any more? Like how many people have asked for a V-4 1000 c.c. motorcycle with Gear Driven Cams, 4 valve non-VTEC valve train, shaft drive, fully adjustable suspension, ST1100 type riding position, or even adjustable ergo's, I'd like a 360 degree crankshaft timing, and a healthy horsepower output, aka Concours 14. Oh yeah, hard saddlebags stock. Geez, maybe I should just smarten up and buy a DN-01, like Honda wants! Keep posting A. M.! I'm starting to rant!

    Here is a good one. It hit the ungodly temperature of 34C (93F).

    We just got back and we're cooling off. Just look at that smile!!

    The day AM and I rode into Kelowna last weekend it was 34C and the following 3 days we set 50 and 100 year temp records. Was ungodly hot and humid as well. A beer would sure taste good after a long days ride.

    We are enjoying a final dinner with the boys before we part ways. AM and I have a big day tomorrow.

    Sipping margaritas on the covered patio / bar.

    A.M. your Calendar shot needs to be one where your gear was unloaded beside your bike, and there was that long streak of oil behind you, with a curve in the background. Your bike was dirty, full of bugs. But you adapted and overcame! Definite calendar stuff.
