Brakes are coming back nicely. Saw a d-bag on a ruckus bitch at a bunch of cars at a stoplight, then cut them off and bumble away on his scooter. I just shook my head in silence. Bummed around the hipster part of town for a while and practiced riding on brick and uneven roads and also revving at girls.........Don’t lie, you’d do it too.
Ran on some higher speed roads and worked her up and down the gears a few times. Definitely has some power, but it is very far from a “twitch your wrist and you’re at redline” bike. Still sounds sweet when you’re around 7000 or so and the carbs are in their zone. Stopped by the store and picked up groceries because that was the oriignal point of the ride. Came back home and adjusted my mirrors and controls on the bike. Of course right as I start, two girls from my apartment building walk out in workout short shorts and tank tops. They tried to hide their lust for me and the bike as I, the sweaty biker mechanic worked on his iron horse......They can deny it all they want, but the allure of the nighthawk was strong for them ;)
...
At least....
That’s what I’m going to tell myself.....
*sigh*
Ah well, I had a beer and a bike and the sun was out and I was done with work. Don’t really need much more.

Damn, that’s a nice bike you’ve got there. Not really a Honda guy but it’s a neat one.

Thanks. I bought it when I found out it has shaft drive, hydraulic valves, and 6 speeds and was all of 800$. Needs little things here and there but that’s just how you bond with your bike, right?

That really is a good way to get to know the bike in a way other than how she rides. $800 seems like a good price. What year is it?

“also revving at girls.........Don’t lie, you’d do it too.”
That’s mandatory.
Great bike!

Nice.
Unfortunately not, but I’ve grown up around Harleys and have just started gotten into some older bikes recently. I really like the old Yamaha’s and Triumphs.

So you experienced wealthy street on a bike? God I hate brick roads. Also, revving at girls is mandatory when on a motorcycle.

Yep. Ran up and down wealthy and lake drive as well as Fulton St. The bricks and broken pavement weren’t bad, actually. The nighthawk is incredibly stable over bumps and whatnot. I think most cars slowed down more than me which got annoying. Almost got backed into on wealthy, otherwise I would’ve been in east town longer. I can describe East GR last night in two words - Hot joggers. Hot joggers everywhere.

haha this. I lived in east gr for a summer a couple years ago and was constantly amazed by how many people exercise outside. It’s a good community.

I wanted to start a tumblr when I moved to GR called “Girls in yoga pants on bikes - as viewed from my balcony” I could probably get half a dozen good pictures just from having a beer on my balcony. And when a female friend stopped by to see the place I told her “The balcony shows you what you desire”. She steps outside and BAM - a bunch of 20-30 something men shirtless and ripped jogged past. Pretty sure there was a drool puddle when I checked up on her.
