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.

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

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

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.

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