Yes I bought one. A used 1983 Honda Aspencade with only 23xxx miles on it. Nice bike I bought well cheap too. Missus and I logged 180 miles Sunday afternoon. Man was it hot. But she loved the ride and was impressed at how smooth and quiet this macbine is. It's no speed demon even though Honda boasts of 81 hp from the 1100cc engine, but the beast also weighs about 750 lb dry too. Anyhow I had it up to 80 which warrented a tough in the ribs. So..,

Oh this bike has some quirks but it's 33 years old too. Nothing that can't be reasonably handled though. After work I'm planning on goofing off maybe another hundred miles tonight. I love it!

You go, guy! Nothing like a nice evening ride out there in the country. Here it seems to take 45
minutes to get to a decent riding area. Better post a picture or two.

You're probably making Harry feel badly. I havent' heard about any of his 'Ducati' escapades lately.

How's the seat on that thing? Comfortable?



I don't have "escapades," Racist John, but I was up in Connecticut
recently with my motorcycle, which I transported in the back of my
pick-me-up-truck.


We're you up there for a poser event? We see a lot of motorcycles
riding in trailers and pick me ups. I guess the owners are afraid
to break in the saddles or wear the little nibs off the tires. To
each his own. ?


A poser event? You mean something like those events Herring tows his
portable motel room to so he can hang out with the other old white guys
and listen to ersatz hillbilly music? No, I don't go to those. This was
just one of a few trips I make each year to the New Haven area to hang
out with old friends. Got pretty good MPGs driving up and back, too.

BINGO! Hang out and pose with a bunch of 70 year old juvenile
delinquents. Could you still throw your leg over that thang and
ride it? Didn't think so.
