I'm going to crunch some numbers, take some comparison photos, and add my full review to the appropriate thread. The short answer is ... I think it's a little better, but I don't think it's $700 better than the stock one.KiowaEagle_imp said:

Here is the entry panel of my town:
Note the rather low speed limit (30 km/h, that is less than 19 mph...). This used to be the speed limit around schools, but now it is generalized all over the Grenoble area, only a few avenues allow 50 km/h.
The owl is the logo of the Regional Natural Parc of Chartreuse : Le Fontanil is at the foot of the Chartreuse mountain.
3 flowers at the "towns and villages in bloom competition" - not too bad!

This reminds me of last October when I rented a Vespa in Tuscany for four days ... try obeying the 30kph limit passing through towns and you'll get run over. Took me a couple of days to realize what the photo cameras look like ... have gotten two traffic tickets so far after the fact ... :-/The ferret_imp said:

Some great photos this month. I loved the theme. It inspired me to take "Welcome to" sign photos from my travels.
Let's see some more for the last weekend of the month.
I believe I have control of the theme for August and I have a crazy idea running through my head for it.. Stay tuned!

Very cool Suhawk. It appears Port Jervis is quite an old settlement.

I got the muffler deflector to cover-up two small dents under it. I dropped my CB on a trailer side rail when I was strapping it down for the trip to Berea. I muffler guard is a big hose clamp with the plaster bumper riveted to it that fits anywhere on the entire length of the OEM muffler. Looks ok on the muffler to me. Let me know if you want close-up pictures.
I bought it on eBay:

Yes, my area has a lot of old settlements being close to the Lower Hudson River (Dutch settlers). Port Jervis is on the Delaware with the confluence with the Neversink River. A lot of battle sites with the "Native American" (don't want to get jammed-up with the PC crowd here) Minisink population in this area, even during the Revolutionary War.The ferret_imp said:

Rather late for the windmill challenge, but I was walking into Jason's Deli for lunch and three wind turbine blade transport trucks went by on the highway out front. Managed to capture the last one with this very brief (1 sec) video.
Oops ... Wrong thread, should have been the monthly photo challenge :blush:

OK... So this month's theme is a bit different, but it could be fun. I have seen on social media where people recreate a photo, usually from their youth, wearing similar clothes and/or taken in the same or similar location. Then they post the old picture and the new picture side-by-side.
Your challenge this month (unless everyone hates the idea) is to recreate (within normal reason) a Honda motorcycle advertisement from the past. You can use any ad you can find, but it shouldn't just be a picture of a CB750 with a plain background. I have searched the web and copied a few of the ads that I think would be fun to try to copy. Don't worry, you don't have to add the text and you don't have to go crazy trying to find period-correct outfits. Just try to come up with something that, when we look at the pictures side-by-side, we go "yeah, I see the similarity" OH..and when you post, post both your picture and the one you are mimicking. Good luck and here are a few of the ads I found...
I can post more examples, but I'll hold off to see if there's actually any interest in this at all.
