Took out the little Magna today and saw a little countryside. Ran through a little rain but all was good. Was messing around with the GoPro camera and filmed a little run that started with a roll-on from around 4000 in 1st gear through around 9000 in 3rd. Pretty impressive for 750CC in a cruiser frame.

Honda Magna roll on 1st through 3rd gear.

Wow, nice acceleration run there. Looked like you hit 95 MPH? You're a braver man than me, especially on a wet road. Nice video too!  :cooldude:
I still miss her.

No...Noo....I think that was 55mph....I never exceed the posted speed limit .    :angel:

Good job on the video.  I thought sure I saw 55 or so on the old speedometer.

With the shadows, it looked like you were riding into a lake.

lol - Give me a little credit!
Actually, I had already run that section of road and turned around to run back so I knew what was there and how long the straight stretch of road was.
The bike just touches triple digits if you look closely. The last large number is 95 and the needle keeps on going past that point. A little over 9000 in third was the last shift. Right around that RPM is the magic speedo number.
That bike is an absolute hoot to climb on and ride!
