Thanks guys!
We're super excited to get to use it! But still getting used to the 1500. I can't believe how much more power it has than the 1100, and how much more top heavy it is! Way different ride. I'm only about 5'8" and it's all I can do to touch the ground when I stop. Makes holding up that big bike with her on the back kind of tricky. She's tiny too, but sits up at least 6" higher than me. She can see over my head, which she really likes. She said staring at the back of my helmet all day really sucked. Needs a new front tire and a new windscreen, and we don't have the intercom headset for it yet. (PO had sold them with the helmets.) But we do have a bluetooth com so we can talk. Just can't listen to the radio, or talk on the CB. We'll get them though.

The trailer needs new tires, wheel bearings, and some minor work on the tent. I'd really like to paint it to match the bike. Believe it or not, it is kind of a dark purple! Oh, and the hub caps are off. Didn't like the baby moons, lol. Maybe I'll find some chrome rims for it.


Hey Todd.... "You meet the nicest people on a Honda!" LOL!
