Bought breakfast. My house mouse took us out for dinner last night. It was our 17 years together dinner.
All Honda would have to do is make a factory "rally raid" version of the cb500 and they would basically have that t700

Exciting stuff emerikol ! Now you have a place to ride to and inspect the progress. Hope you find room for all your toys. But of course, you can almost leave stuff outside out there and it will be fine with the desert climate.

The '19 model is just about that. It comes lifted like the RR kit with 17/19 inch wheels, more power/torque, a reworked windscreen, and display. It's also rumored to have a gear indicator or at least the option for a Honda unit.

Love me some Cat Crap. A little goes a long way on moto helmets and windscreens.

I bought one of those lockable license plate boxes for my friend’s Hawk 250. I have one on my Hawk too! I have my seat bolted on and in the event that the police want my registration and insurance card, it’s somewhat easy to get to.

Which one, the highly specialized oil filter Kia uses or the fact that the oil cakes up on the back of the intake valves because the injectors are in the head and the valve seals suck. Maybe another one I'm not aware of. We have a 2.0L Soul and I have grown to loath this car. I started out loving it.
