Mrs. G and I drove in our CRV to show some Honda spirit, and we joined up with one of my fellow Petersen docents and his family. The first things that greeted us were giant Honda inflatables, which I found fun and fascinating. 
We made our way to the indoor Collection Hall to see what was on display before walking the rows of cars and bikes that came for the show, and it was weird to see a row of different generations of Accords lined up in the courtyard outside. I walked past them at first, because when would you stop to look at an Accord. That is until I realized that these were their museum cars, and were in pristine condition.

The museum was pretty cool, and fulfilled a desire to see it. They have a timeline of Honda's history, with several models of Honda cars and motorcycles. Of course, the key bikes, like the CB750 are there. The MB5 was the cool bike to have when I was in high school, and I mused that the Interceptor was the reason my Enfield is called an "INT650" here in the U.S.

If you're in the area on a weekday and have a chance to check it out, it's worth the trip. For reference if you're visiting, it's about 30-40 minutes from LAX depending on traffic.

As for the show, it was heavily Honda as you can imagine, with every model represented. There was one row of motorcycles and all brands were welcome, but most were Hondas. Two elderly gentlemen brought CBXs, and I was hovering when they mounted them and fired them up to leave. I commented to one of them that his bike looked awesome. He said "The nice one is inside", to which I replied that I thought the nicer ones were those outside, that these two were actually enjoying. 

Amazingy, there were no CB1100s. I will have to bring mine next time, to see if gets much attention. They host four of these cars and coffee events a year, so it won't be a long wait!

I never used anything like this before so my question is do I really just put them on over the seat?  I assumed I should remove the seat, "throw them on", then latch the seat back on, but that doesn't really work so well and it would leave the right bag almost resting on the muffler.

Thanks a bunch for any insight.

Alpinestars V2 GTX Air boots. I wanted something better than the papier mache Tourmaster Echos that I’ve been wearing. I purchased those on EBay a while ago as emergency backups in case my Nice, leather Tourmaster Epics ever failed. 

One of the Epics is at a shoe repair shop having a broken zipper fixed. I heard the guy is good but that I’ll be lucky to get them back in a few months. (I’m told his work is worth the wait).

On week one, a stone put a divot in the front of the back-up boots, made of whatever Tourmaster uses now instead of leather. Needless to say I’m not counting on them to provide much protection in an emergency.

The Alpinestars fit nice, are vented for summer, and I had a stack of gift cards that the museum found- a few years’ worth of birthday and Christmas cards included- that had apparently fallen behind my boss’s desk.

That lessened the impact of nice, full-price boots. Test rode them on Bike #5 and they feel very comfortable. Had to size up to a 46 from my usual 45 to get the width I need, but dimensionally in length and width the are the same as my Epics, so no “clown shoe” effect.

I spend most of my time in the DMZ between the harsh realities of life and the government agencies working to ease suffering. We are not heroes. We do not answer calls, run into burning buildings, or stop the bleeding. But we keep the IT infrastructure in place so first responders can arrive on scene quickly, respond effectively, call for help when needed, and return to Post. I used to make high-tech millionaires and billionaires by helping them flip companies. Now I work for 23 engineers, technicians, analysts, and programmers, keeping the emergency response engine we built together running smoothly. It is a much better gig.

This morning at 3:00 AM, I received the call. Children playing with fireworks set fire to the rental house we lease for staff, many of whom commute just like me. The fire crept into the walls. It is a holiday weekend, so no one was home, but the smoke alarm system sounded, the alert went out, and the very systems we maintain were put to use. An Engine Company from Station 17 was dispatched, entered the home, opened the walls from the inside, and doused the flames before the structure was lost or the fire spread through the neighborhood. I am told the firefighters found the source despite the smoke that filled the dwelling. I am grateful beyond words for their work.

My CB1100EX and two Bianchi bicycles were in the garage, where the fire originated. Believe it or not, I spent more on the bicycles than the motorcycle! Their fate is unclear at this time, and none of them can be replaced. If you have some positive energy to lend, now would be the time.

I love California: its natural beauty and the kindness the incredible people I have met there. It has also been a hard place for me to afford. I cannot buy a home in the East Bay, so I live in the Texas Hill Country, commute roughly 300 days a year, and work the balance from home. This morning I watched the sun come up, fed the horses, tended to the baby deer, and decided to let the Forum help me manage the next few hours. Thank you.

Well ... Ace Hardware has this part in their plumbing section for $1 each.  I tried Lowes and Home Depot, but their O rings were too thick, too small or too large. 
Here are the photos of the Honda part, the Ace hardware part and the final install. 
It was a perfect fit.
