Ride safe. This is me 6 weeks ago. Not a Harley but another "H". This is the last motorcycle Sochiro Honda actually supervised as Project Director. Hence intelligent design abounds.

Many impressive features, including 7.4 gallon tank UNDER the seat. Engine is a V-4, aligned like a car V-8. The only flaw was the design of the windscreen -- too short for tall Americans. Mine is a 2001 ABS. The only required repair since purchase 7 years ago has been a fork seal. Gets 43-46 mpg. Some STs have run over 200,000 miles. I ride this 3-4 days/week. It is 140 pounds lighter than the new Goldwing and has better luggage. Oh... and it cost me exactly $5000.00 bought used with 5000 miles. New GW touring is close to $30K with tax.

Nice bike! The scenery is not too shabby, either!

My wife (when we met) was riding the 1300. It was so comfortable and had plenty of power. Easy to maneuver at low speed, but fried my shins. A wonderful motorcycle for sure.

Home safe. 1114 miles from the driveway to Deadwood. 2 1/2 days. Too many stops to read historical markers.
Next year is the Big Reunion. The entire Ranger Regiment Assn gathers in June at FT Benning. 60 of us made it this year. We went to Sturgis, then to Mt Rushmore for the evening service.

Every day but Tuesdays was great.
Bailed off I-90 at Big Timber, MT to take a look at the for sale rack at Shiloh Rifle. Good news; none for sale. Grabbed a catalog and engraving sheet. Bad news; yesterday we stopped back in to buy a baseball cap for myself and two for my brother. I will be 70 next September, and my lovely wife told me she would buy me a new Sharps for my birthday. A new 1874 Long Range Express in 45-100 2.6" is just $2059. However, add a few upgrades, and the tab ended up $4900...

My math is not too good. $5359 bottom line. The good news, I have about enough time to save the $$$$ by time it is done.
