The Gold Standard

[FJ1200W]

That's Kenny, we met back in the mid to late 1970's.
Back then, he had a KZ1000 MkII was was the shit.
Later, a Bandit 1200S with Holeshot mods that made it a true rocketship.
And many other, like most of us.
Here we are north of Columbia, Missouri USA.
I've finished feasting on fried catfish with fries on a Friday. That's fish and chips for our friends in the UK.
He had a killer smoked pork steak sandwich.
Homemade banana crème pie for dessert for me, coconut for him.
This ride was great, as early on we hit a torrential downpour, costing his bike it's virginity.
It had never been wet in it's 16,000 mile life.
Later, after we outrode the storm, we hit a stop of heavy freshly mowed wet grass, at speed, in a corner.
As I rode through, I was beeping my horn at the mower.
When he glanced up, I flipped him the peace sign because I give zero fucks about grass in the road.
It was a great day.
