Those Super Hawks sure we're nice in the late sixties.
I had a Honda 160 and it seemed like a toy next to my friend's Super Hawk.

Those Hondas were terrific, especially in comparison to the smaller
British bikes, which were much less reliable and as everyone knows
leaked oil.

I had a Honda 350 for a couple of weeks and I even rode it a couple
times. I got it in 10 boxes and put it back together, then I sold it.
I had a Benelli 250 for quite a while and I had a "fix it and sell it"
Yamaha 350 for a few weeks.

After fooling around with those, it was Harleys for me.

My buddy went through his Triumph and Norton days too but he ended up
on Harleys.
Between us we probably had over 30. We made money on every one of
them.

When we were kids there were motorcycles galore on the farm. Me, my two
brothers, four cousins and friends of all of ours kept our bikes there.
Plus, one of my friends worked for the local Kawasaki dealer. He got one
of the two cycle, three cylinder Kaw 750's. Those things were radical.
More torque than you can imagine. I was riding it one day behind a semi,
on a two lane highway, went to pass, whipped around the truck, kicked it
down a gear and gassed it. Damned front end came up and scared the ****
out of me!
