I've been under the weather most of the weekend, but finally carved out some productive time to wash both of the Hondas today. Having one old and one new works out quite nicely as I take turns commuting on both bikes. By making sure the Hawk GT gets its regular workouts, the fuel doesn't sit around in the float bowls too long and the tank (2.9 Gallons) is small enough that I'm regularly running fresh gas. Just the same, as I was cleaning the Hawk, I noticed that the aging rubber surround on the tachometer bezel needs replacement (which means that the Speedometer surround is going to need replacement is well). Do I really have to? No, probably not. Will I? Absolutely, provided I can still obtain them. Sigh. One more reason I appreciate having the freshly new CB1100.
