I owned a CTX (standard version, not the Deluxe) for a couple of years and really enjoyed it. I don't think Honda knew how to market it ("bagger?) and in typical Honda fashion it was way over-priced.

Someone else's bike.

I've been living on Hawaii Island for about a year. I haven't ridden as much as I'd like (the house to-do list has been lengthy) but riding here is decidedly more varied than the other islands and the variety of terrain keeps you from getting bored. Traffic is better but rush hour backups can be...

Bikes finally arrived in Hawaii. So far only managed a couple of short rides. Time to see how big The Big Island really is.

Mass vaccination effort coinciding with the government acknowledgement of UAP. Hmmm.....

I had a worse reaction to my second shingles shot than either COVID shot. And that consisted of just feeling a bit run down the following day.

Givi Trekker 33 liter Monokey side cases. Great condition (A tad dirty in the pic). Looking to get $450. Also "Rapid Release" sideframes. Should work with any Givi Monokey cases (Double-check fitment, though). Hardware is super easy to install. $150 +shipping I'd prefer to sell the cases...

Uhaul is your friend.

Finally got out for a decent ride today... about 160 miles. No place special, just enjoying the sunny day. Very weird though... lots of lost and confused pirates bikers. With all the bars closed they had no idea where to go.

As long as MM is around, doubtful it'll make any difference.

I was tired of winter somewhere around 1992.
