Just out for a ride on my Honda DAX (if you know, you know).
Can I just get something off my chest.. whenever I’m on this little beauty other bikers hardly acknowledge or give the nod when passing. What’s the deal with that? It’s almost as bad as a Harley rider revving his engine at a red light. I find the worst are the GS riders for some reason? Do me a favour, if you’re one of these people, get off your high horse man. I’ve had a wide selection of bikes and this is by far the most fun on two wheels. I’m not a beginner rider and my other ride is a Kawasaki H2 SX (300km/hr) but guess what.. when I’m on that I still let on to any other riders.
Rant over! Ride safe and cheers!

@Oilfieldtrash two wheels is two wheels and assholes will be assholes. Enjoy the ride

@Oilfieldtrash In Canada there is a version of that bike called the Monkey...I have looked at them numerous times. If I lived in a more urban area ownership would be a no brainer.

I give anyone on two wheels the nod, from scooter to Gold Wing.

@goosehd I love the monkeys, I looked at one a few years ago and there was a 3k delivery fee added on to it so I left.
-
@goosehd Hey, yeah we have the monkey as well.. just went with the DAX as it’s got a longer wheel base so bit more stable at higher speeds. So much fun!

TBH, I’ve never understood the motorcycle snobbery. As @Jett129 said, bicycles are included too. Nothing better than going through a town slowly and doing the wave to a bunch of kids…sometimes I think that they are smiling as big as I am.
We did a cops toy run with a bunch of my buddies in Saint Paul, Mn where there were over 140 of us riding together. Seeing the smile on some of the kids faces as we rode by was awesome. Especially when the police bikes turned on their lights and sirens.

Paid a visit to Liam my favorite Irish bartender at the Knights of Columbus followed by an ending at Icarus. Only 2 cold ones over the course of a few hours

@Denimhead-0 Surprised to see putting regular into the gas tank. Or did I fall for it by always putting Hi-Test into my Harleys,as per the manual’s instructions.

Good eye, I asked for the 93, looks like the attendant hit regular before handing me. I’ll add some good stuff later.

The octane isn't measured the same though, their 93 is about the same as our 98.
-
@NickD I think 93 octane is closer to 100RON, or V-Power Racing for those of you shell users. 91 octane would be 98RON

@Jett129 Great seeing you
