Had to trailer it home, but before I did, was 45 degrees and the roads were dry enough to take a ride. It hadles like a dream, very resposive handling. I came back with a big smile.

Had one mile, added 25 as you can see in one of the pics

After 20 years of not riding, i was a tiny bit woblly on take off, but otherwise was like i had riden yesterday. Didn;t even stall, though i am still getting used to the gears.

Thanks, must be nice living in Florida

Absolutely, except for....

Old deaf and blind seniors only just managing to peek over the steering wheel.

Rainstorms at a moments notice

Hurricanes

Hotter than heck from about May to September. You swear your right leg is forming blisters from the engines heat when stopped at a traffic light. And sweat......its only outdoor events for bikers in the summer here.

NO hills.

Bugs the size of cows.

But apart from that....yeah...paradise

Nice looking bike. I love Honda's, they seem more solid to me than alot of other bikes.

the 1100cc has plenty of power and torque for me

Congrats! Nice ride! Keep us posted with pics of upgrades and whatnot
