I figure in Canada we're never more than about 3 feet away from a hockey puck at any given time, so I'm sure I'll pick up another soon

Just stop and look at it. What a beauty! Such great attention to detail, and well designed flow.
Loved the build write up (especially the renderings tumb2 ).
Congrats on BOTM.

Thanks guys! I didn't know the same bike (kinda) could be bike of the month twice, super cool to see. I'm going to make sure I buy some of the calendars this time, I missed out last time it was in there :-D

Echoing all the comments on here with congratulations on BOTM and also for the attention to detail, like adding finishing touches such as the little Honda badge. Along with others I love this build, the flow, the planning and design, it's my favorite Naked Wing, well almost... ;)

cheers
