Ray was in Sacramento picking up his new to him Hondapotamas so a few of us met Ray and Patti for lunch. Our lunch crew included Rogdebs, Hycycles, MadMike2 and the Bugs.

It was a perfect day in the low 70's and the blossom petals were snowing in the parking lot.

Gayle is checking out the fabric on Rays new seat. Ray says he will ride naked to get the real feel of it

Man I needed my sunglasses for all the bling on this Wing. Nice bike with lots of extras, too bad they had to haul it home but it was 27 and snowing when Ray left the house this morning.

Mike explains that all deserts were low calorie. We all had a great time visiting over lunch and our ride home was perfect.

Rolled in about 11:00 put trailer and bike in the shop. I'll unload it tomorow.

 
That's a long day of driving,, how's the lower back?Nice Wing, me thinks you'll like it.
Not good. Vicodin will be needed today. The seat on the barge seems to have good lumbar support so I hope for some comfort.

 
Seat looks super comfy, it could double as my home-theater lounge.

Jealous you had 70's and sunny skies, nice pics btw but not sure about the low calorie dessert(s) however ;)

Congratulations on the new-to-you Wing. What year is it?

Once you get the backrest adjusted for you, you'll be amazed at the lumbar support. Then you'll have it on the center stand, tweaking the highway foot rests to the "sweet spot" and then your biggest problem will be staying awake - for you AND the rear admiral.

Though you probably already know, she's a heavy beast. If, while you're getting used to her, she tries to tip over in the driveway - let her go! The lower bars will prevent any damage to the Tupperware, and trying to hold up 1000 pounds will break YOU!

All this Hondapotamus talk is making me feel guilty. I guess I should take mine for a spin today.

Enjoy!

 
Nice looking 'wing Ray. Take your time polishing all the chrome...you still got time before the snow melts!

Enjoy the new scoot.

Unfortunately the "Mental Picture" of Ray riding naked on that seat has flashed across my mind's eye and I can no longer see.

I rode my cousin's 'Wing and initially sneered at the backrest. Then when I accidentally leaned into it... Oh MY! I could get used to the comforts of a Hondapotamous.

Oh and I agree with Bust about the color. That color is nice.
