I knew I wasn't going up to Ak in 18 before July and was thinking about stumbling into a big twin maybe in the spring. That piece on the Honda perked up my ears so I looked online for them. I never even considered buying a 17. I found dozens online at great prices. I've got a dealer two miles away from my new house so stopped in to look. I really like the bike. Black is beautiful. I've owned a 350F and a Suzuki 1100 Katana so I like inline fours. Thanks for the forum. I expect to enjoy the snot out of this bike if I can keep my decrepit body together for a few more years. This bike was made for me, now. I was figuring on having to invest at least 5K into a used H-D and instead got a NEW Solid Big Honda Four. I are a happy soon to be 67 year old dude.
Okay, now I don't want to contribute to thread creep around here by any means, so I'm not going to ask you to expand on that adventure. Just know that I'm a tad bit envious.

To keep this thread on track, this just makes your story even better in my humble opinion! That's awesome.

It made me come over all egalitarian and benign. I apologise. Now I've had a bit of a cup of tea the world looks more normal and I've reverted to type. I realise most clowns out there are actually incapable of appreciation of any sort.
Too funny Cormanus. My viewpoints and opinions certainly often require some counter-balancing I'll readily admit. Glad you got some rain if it was much needed (wish I could send some of ours your way).
