Enjoy the big CR 5, those are awesome bikes.

It's been almost 5 months in the building but checking YRC Freight's tracking this morning on their website, my Service Honda is theoretically in Calgary. Crossing my fingers and hoping there aren't any more hoops to jump through!

Looks like a work of art. Be a shame to get it dirty. :D

Where's the Teraflex? :thinking:

Ha. Yeah it'll be a garage queen at least until the weekend. I'll rip this tire up and then think about Teraflex. One issue is that the stock rear is 19" which limits the monstrous tires I can put on without replacing the wheel. Everything in time.

Very jealous right now. Been wanting an AF since I bought my steel framed '99 4-5 years ago. Alas, going to have to wait a couple of more years while I recover from school debt. Beautiful bike, look forward to seeing it in person.

Kinda sad that Honda doesn't make these anymore but it's cool that you can still get a "new" one :applause:

Awesome bike, enjoy!

:cheers:
The voices are back. Awesome!

Nope. Baja Designs squadron LED headlight and tail light. Brightest light I've ever had on a bike. Should be able to do at least 70 at night on the singletrack. :smirk:
