Just rode home on my new Honda Forza today. Just turned 73, a bit creaky but still riding. What a fabulous bike.

Well done Ted - great choice. Hopefully the rain will stay away and allow you to get a few miles in.

We can't get no satisfaction in Canada, but we cry, but we cry, but we cry,
We can't get no Forza, but we cry, but we cry!!!

We've had this debate before, the fastest manned vehicle ever was white (Apollo 10 24,791mph) therefore white is fastest.
It is unlikely this record will be broken any time soon.

The red ones used to be fastest.

Honda made a Gold Wing and a Silver Wing. Mine is a Tin Wing.

It is really slow. 100 km trip in about 5 hours for about 20 km per hour.

Bad news on the brain scan so I took a trip. 300 km in 6.5 hours gives 46 kmph even though I could have been given speeding tickets in a dozen different cities today. I only got lost a few times.

Sorry, noticed the alarming statement, "bad news on the brain scan..."
Are you OK?

That's what's great about riding. It takes your mind off things . . ..

Years ago my daughter gave me a T-Shirt for a Birthday present that read "You'll never see a motorcycle parked in front of a psychiatrist's office".

Like Fish said, hope you are OK. :|

The only real problem I have is deciding when to put my new tire on. The Scottish ancestry says ride it till bald.

The brain thing is nothing I can change so I will just ignore it.

I want to die after climbing out the window of a sexy lady after spending all night. It is dangerous for older guys to climb out of windows. Maybe one story buildings only.

The RCMP almost got me killed yesterday. They had someone pulled over on a really busy 4 lane highway. The eighteen wheeler moved over to not kill the fool. He pushed me onto the narrow paved shoulder. Fortunately the Forza is skinny.
