Last ride of the season?

Post by steve murdoch icoa #5322 »

We put of pics of the first ride of the season, i hope this was not my last.
Couple hours in the country and ended up in Niagara Falls. Isn't there supposed to be gold at the end of a rainbow.

Nice! I'm fortunate to live where I do -- I never have to put 'em away for the winter. 8)

You always do nice shots, Steve!
My last ride for 2013 was quite a while ago. Due to some health issues that require attention, I had to put my bikes into hibernation really early this fall. :no Last one went into storage stage last Sunday. :doh:

Hell, Steve! Seems we just went through this 'last ride' thing a week ago....not a year ago :o
Nice shots though, was it a warm(ish) day?
I'm still holding out hope of a few more romps, but the clock is definitely ticking (as the thermometer falls).
Man, that bike of yours looks bad-ass 8)

One little thing I think a naked Prolink would benefit from is a tank decal:

...or these from a Euro CBX400, which say "Super Sport", I think

Yup, I like the idea of something on the tank too.

And...thought you could let this slip past did you?
Due to some health issues....
Ummmmm, Mike, what's go in' on?

Very cool idea, I'd love to see it. They look a little...naked within something there.

A couple years ago Andre at Reproduction Decals sent me a sample similar to this one for the tank.
I like the look of the vintage Honda HM Wing.

Nice!

The tank decal of the CB1100R - D-model would look nice too. It is sort of color-coordinated with the 81 Prolink scheme.

Think I have had the last ride of the season unfortunately. I managed to de-glove the top of my left thumb Wednesday morning at work. :( I have had it re-stitched back on, and now have to wait to see if the tip keeps alive or has to be removed. the Doctor and surgeon seem to think it should be ok, but it's bloody sore at the moment. :handgestures-fingerscrossed:
I suppose I could let my wife Michele ride it and I could go pillion holding on with one hand. :shock:

Cheers

Sorry to hear about your thumb, Chris.
Can you lift a pint right-handed?
