Hello All,
Last November my father lost his long battle with cancer. He was a member of this forum, his handle was MonoRT. I happened across his posts recently. I have taken ownership of his 1985 R80RT with 267,000+ miles, and have been riding it to work for about a month now. Carrying on the tradition, as much as I can. My plan is to figure out what he'd already fixed, what might still need work, and everything I can learn about proper maintenance of this bike. I already had a 1991 Honda Hawk GT, so now I've got the ideal two-bike setup: one for touring/commuting/two-up rides, and one for pure backroad fun!
I can already tell this is a great community, and I've read his magazines for a while, too! I look forward to many more years and miles on two wheels. See you all on the forum!
