The boys are chomping at the bit to get riding this year. Once the northern cold and southern duties are out of the way, you can bet they'll be in the rural twisties. Maybe one of us will be on a new machine.

In this episode we take a good hard look at Honda's soon to be released Hawk 1100. The sport profiled, track-friendly street bike jackets an Africa Twin motor with ornately modern throwback styling. We can't stop rambling about it.

Other bikes were in close contention for our model focus this round, so we pushed them into our "Mess Ala Moto" segment. Kawasaki's "Green Meanie" and Boris Guynes' double 750 (1500cc) "Anti-Christ" get better than due mention. There's also unavoidable blather about a front wheel driven trike.
