I am showing my age again but I believe Honor Blackman had the most distinct  name of any of the Bond girls.  Yes, she played a beautiful woman in a James Bond movie. She appeared in the movie Gold Finger. She was also a motorcyclist and rode motorcycles as a dispatch rider during WWII.

I can still imagine Sean Connery saying her name with his accent.

     Hi Paso, Honor Blackman sounds not too shy, considering the day. Cold and snowy here today, finished service on the Multi yesterday and went for a short ride. All seems well and good, felt nice. Hope all is well in
   Your world, cheers KRJ

Krj, yes, I did not ride my bike yesterday but was working on my wife's CBR250R Honda but I did ride my bicycle yesterday in bicycle attire and then today it was just brutal especially this morning. The wind and the cold and bits of snow were just fierce. But as we all know that is Colorado weather.  Glad you got the Multi serviced. I rode to work three times last week but this week looks like it will be  bust until at least Wed or Thur.All is good and we are safe. Glad to here you are the same.  Good on ya.

  Yes today here was also miserable, spent time on the bathroom remodel and service on a BMW K1600
   that we inherited from the wife's father. Absolute Brute of a motorcycle! We rode it a bit last year but
   intend to do more this season. This bike is quite a change, but above 20mph it handles awesome. At
    Speed You catch yourself in corners you would think too fast but it takes it confidently, almost
    too well. The bike is big and heavy and will take time to learn, but is a comfortable ride, I call it
    The Flying Couch !!  Hell getting Old...The KZ1000 is not rode much.  Stay Well,  KRJ

Dustykitska & I watched GoldFinger in her memory.  We had a great time.
