I ran into a group of 4 guys yesterday, was it any of you?  Thought maybe it was your Sunday cruise. 

Anyway, it was a monster, an 1198, an S1000RR and another BMW.  I jumped in behind them in Haliewa and rode with them up Kam highway for a few miles before I got to my house.

I didn't make it out yesterday, but that sounds like the Jamba Juice group... ;D

No modification goes unpunished. Memento mori.  Good people drink good beer.  Things happen pretty fast at high speeds.

It's all up to your will level, your thrill level and your skill level.  Everything else is just fluff.

with the baby and mother coming early next year all my weekends are spent getting the nursary and spare room ready + working as Much OT as my company will allow, mix that with all these damn outer island trips they keep sending me on and that makes for a very unhappy 848 and 696  :'( i pray by febuary i can have time to start riding again

Oh nice, good seeing you guys.  I would have stayed longer but had a busy schedule.  One of these days I'll join you guys.

I saw this today in the late afternoon in Enchanted Lakes. Very cool in it's own right. Took the kid/guy 3 years to rebuild and restore it. I found it inspiring.

Speed and power certainly not the point here and the owner totally aware of that too. This is a 1973 Puch hardtail and it's nearly original. A real deal mo-ped. Almost perfect restoration. He's got the pieces for a 1946 Harley Trike that is his next project. That would be the 45 cu in flathead.

BTW, I cracked up over the clubman bars and nose fairing too.
