Thank ye, thank ye, had a wonderful experience. I'm liking this new toy, came as somewhat of an accident. I had decided on a new 2012 Honda stx 1300 at my local Honda shop. We settled on a price and was ready to count pennies when I reckoned maybe I should ride it. They wouldn't agree to this, so I put my pennies back in my sock and went home. I think this may have been my lucky day. I looked up the history of this bike and discovered It killed a cop in Ireland (I think) and busted up another trying to recreate the dead officers accident. Come to find out above 110 you can get into a speed wobble on the front end and something called a weave on the back end. This bike was used as the Pan European police bike, they went back to BMW motorcycles.
Honda no longer makes this model and 2014 was the first year for my new baby, a ctx 1300. New frame but same engine, just detuned from 117 hp to 87hp, far more than I need. I've got a bit over 400 miles on and probable less than 10 miles in 5 th gear. Mostly just pilfering around the neighborhood in 2nd gear.
I'd like to be in Maine this month, I lived in Brunswick for a couple of years and Oct. on a motorcycle, through the back roads, messing up the gold and red leaves on the road. What a lovely sight, trees arching over the road coming together gives the impression of a tunnel. I guess it's still like this there now, well, a lot has changed, I Google it and don't see a thing I remember! Glade I still have the memories stored in my mind! Think I'll have a beer and do some remembering!
