She lacked motivation?
I made errors on two of my Hondas. I traded in my 305 Honda Dream on
a Triumph 650....I was young. The other mistake was selling my Honda
600 sedan:

I bet they want a pretty penny for this perfect specimen....I don't
think it was ever on the road!


I got you beat! My *first* motorcycle was... a 250cc Honda Dream. Used
and just carefully broken in when I bought it, and it served me well
for a couple of years. Ugly little bike, but...it sure looked sweet
compared to the BSAs and Triumphs my friends had, because...my Honda
started when I wanted it to...and their bikes sometimes ran and
sometimes didn't.

My first was a Honda 305 Superhawk. Drove it all summer and winter in
Illinois, mainly because I couldn't afford a car.

winter-motorcycle-Illinois? You are a daredevil,aren't you?

Illinois has a variety of weather. Northern IL is very different from S.
IL.



We lived briefly in Zion, IL. Just a couple of miles from the Wisconsin
border. Interesting little dry town. No booze or beer sold.

I was there many times when I was in sales. Ever heard of Benton Lumber?

You are a badass if you rode your bike in that area. I used to live in
Crystal Lake and my motorcycle was on the trickle charge from Oct/Nov to
Mar/Apr.
