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.


I call BS on that. There would have been a photo. It's his MO.
