It's with a heavy heart that I tell you all the news that we lost one of our own. @Howabusa Kent Howard (Robert K. Howard) Kent passed away at his home on Sept 12,2025 of an unknown illness. Many of us have ridden with Kent on his old Hyabusa and more recently on his FJR. Spent many a night at deal's gap with him and chasing each other around the Appalachian Mountains. His passing was very unexpected and shared with me by his widow Connie. There was no services and has been laid to rest next to his father. Just a few weeks before his passing he did get one last trip to Deals Gap and got one last lick at those mountains and slayed the dragon for old times sake. And I'm sure he wanted you all to know his FJR hit 124,000miles during that trip.. 😂..an inside joke his good friends will get. Ride on my old friend you will be missed.

Got the very old girl all shined up. Getting her ready for some Appalachian mountain abuse. Damn, I still love this damn thing.

I miss some things about those days sure, but they center mostly around the people and not the insane number of miles trying to haul ass lol. I’m much happier now just toodling along on some back country road, waving at the cows and looking for that perfect spot to set up my chair, get out the stove and make some coffee and have a puff all while looking at the sky. Even riding the enduro, there will be days of long highway hauls, awful weather and shitty road conditions. It’s all part of it. I’ve been fishing a bit with an old friend, and got this beautiful northern pike a few weeks ago, in the upper Cuyahoga River! That’s been helping keep me sane

Swapped the touring windscreen for OEM and replaced the CRG-knockoff levers for OEM, but black vs chrome. Looking better each mod... Now I just need Santa to bring me gold suspenders.

If I thought you were gonna break it, I wouldn't offer to lend it. If it breaks while you're riding it, that's just coincidence. Shit happens. I get where you're coming from, but the offer stands if you need a change of pace. You can ride any of them, actually. The ZRX is pretty fun if you like lots of speed with minimal braking available. 😆

Thanks people. Sunny will be on the new calendar! Second place, not far behind. https://procycle.us/blog/news-events/congratulations-our-2026-calendar-photo-contest-winners Getting nervous now for the upcoming Horizons Unlimited event (leaving in two days) one: I have to speak to an audience. Hard to not get emotional. two: temps will be in the upper 30’s, lower 40’s at night. Not my favorite camping weather. I’ve already decided to take an additional down comforter and a second insulated floor mat here is the announcement of my participation https://www.facebook.com/share/p/17Jo4PHGW1/?mibextid=wwXIfr

Oh, rode yesterday... lunch in Roscoe Village and then a short break at Muskie cause it's been a few years.

Well, yeah... I was just going about it the fun way. Geez... way to harsh my mellow, nerd.

That flyer isn't real, in case you had not figured that out. Seriously... Morrissey and Johnny Rotten?

Looks like that was about due.

I got the Bonneville a new trinket. An Oxford tail bag.

It's on the lead now. That said we only need top three to make the calendar. But first is always way better.

I just voted a second time. Quite the fish there Dan.

weird, I voted the other day but it wont let me vote again.

Email sent, I took out your email address from the post above so the spammers don't get it.

Sold. Picked up the new bike. #3 of 325.

Despite Pauly abandoning me in my time of need we are pretty much done.
