Good day gents and gals.Almost 35 years spent as a Ford dealership technician/foreman.In my spare time worked at a Honda motorcycle dealer as a mechanic. Lifetime of riding motorcycles,from 65cc Honda Cub's at 15 years old to 1500cc Honda Goldwing's. Had a BSA 500 twin in the early 70's but no Brit bikes in my garage since. Still have a Honda CX500 that I bought new in 1978 that needs to be freshened.Over 50 bikes over the years made their home here for various time frames.Many trail bikes were enjoyed.Later in life tried the heavy cruisers,1500 Kawasaki Vulcans,1500 Honda Goldwings and a Honda Valkyrie Interstate at the last. At 66 years old with heart concerns slowing me down greatly, trying to push these heavy cruisers around the shop sucked.Tried a Honda 750 Aero (nice bike)but the cruiser riding position does not agree with my knees. Enter a 2013 Bonniville with only 8000 kilometers that appears to fill my needs. Reasonable weight,low seat,upright sitting position,good power,quiet and good handling.It's out in the shop waiting for service items to arrive and new Avon Roadriders.A little ambition on my part might help also.Have a good day Eric
