Man I love Honda

It's no secret that I'm a big time Honda fan. Growing up, every motorcycle I had was a Honda. In my adult life I continue to have great experiences with Honda. On Friday, my Dad and I rode down to Daytona. When we stopped for breakfast in St Augustine, I noticed that my back tire was looked really worn out. It was showing cord in several places, and I wasn't sure if I should ever attempt to ride on it. At that point I was sure that I would have to go back to Jacksonville.

We headed over to First City Honda in St Augustine, FL. Those guys couldn't have been any nicer. An hour and $200 later, they had me back on the road and headed to Daytona with a new Dunlop rear tire. Would the Harley shop been so accommodating?

My bike ran great all the way down to Daytona. No matter how fast I'm going, I can always twist the throttle and get more power. It's 919cc engine (from the CBR900RR) was built for the race track, and it likes to remind me of that.
