Gary, it’s so cool to see how much you hold this thread down!
Honestly, at a glance, that's a pretty cool Magna. Always liked that model.
I will say with the first photo, and the bungi net and whatever finish is on the tank I thought "What is on that tank, leather?".
Thanks! Yes, this version made only two years and it’s such a weirdo. From the exhaust, taillights, and side panels it’s like a cruiser with heavy 80’s sport bike influence. I especially like the motor, though, and the history of how and why Honda made these bikes with these smaller motors.
Compared to the V-twin rivals, it’s actually pretty fast considering it’s age and low-tech’ness.
The paint on the bike is multiple coats of whatever flat paint and primer I had in the shop, sanded, sprayed, sanded and sprayed with gas spilled over it from filling up. Add overspray from painting stuff without removing it.
Today's destination: Snake River Canyon Scenic Byway

What kind of fish is to be had in that river?

I know that in Idaho you're supposed to be into fishin' and huntin' and guns and stuff, but not me. I do like off road motorcycle riding and one of these days four-wheelin'.

My step-son got his first buck hunting last year with his dad in Idaho. They are Native American and do a bit of hunting out of state.
I’d love to get out there and do a bit of outdoorsman stuff. Although, last year my wife and I took a multi-spot camping trip and realized the Bureau Of Land Management out here offers quite a bit of that. Thanks for sharing! Idaho is a place I’d like to get to.
