What a day!

What a wonderful day. 75F, dry, blue sky, and nothing else to do other than to take our new 6cyl LT out for a spin. Rode from Houston to New Braunfels, chatted a few words with Grif and rode back to Houston to pick up Karen from her BRC.

Am I reading this correctly, Andy: 6 cylinder... LT? As in, motorcycle? Surely this means something else...

PS: Glad you had a nice day! We had an unseasonable 83 last Friday.

Re: What a day!

I was hoping ANdy was...
1- riding the ONLY 6 cyl LT on a secret test mission ( that cat is out of the bag now- or is it?)
2- Traded for a wingnut..
3- enjoyed the bright Texas sun a little too much with maybe a touch of the grog at the Renn Fest today..


It was a beautiful day, No?

Re: What a day!

Are the days of the ren fest again? Is it really that time of the year again? I guess then I will have to go there next weekend.

Re: What a day!

I remember my BRC. The instructor drove a 6-cyl LT as well.

How did Karen do, and did she like "The Box" !!!

Re: What a day!

Andy has been over on the gl1800 site trying to sell H O N D A letters that he took off his new bike.
What color did you get Andy ?

That is pure conjecture! I have never been trying to sell any Honda letters.
