excuse the absence

so it's been a long time since i've posted, that's because it's been a long time since i've done any work on the honda.  instead, i've picked up a new toy that i've been spending most of my time with.  (also, been doing a lot of work to the house, but i'm planning on getting back to the honda this summer some time, i think i'm getting closer to knowing what kind of bike i'd like this custom to be.)
