Frameable, by the way.

Only 2 ****toons?


It's a real motorcycle, not a Honda Civic with two wheels. :-)




Right...it's a real motorcycle engine that you have to keep repairing to
keep running, and therefore NOT a honda motorcycle engine.


Hey, if you like six cylinder motorcycle engines with pistons the size
of thimbles, go for it.

My comment was just a friendly Harley jab at Jim. He knows that. I
used to comment on his two wheeled Civic when we rode together ... him
on the Goldwing and me on a potato-potato Harley. In seriousness, the
Goldwing is a very nice, refined bike but like any motorcycle or
vehicle, they have their share of problems:

I had two small two cylinder aircooled Honda motorcycles in the 1960s, a
"dream" and a "superhawk." They were well-used when I bought them, and I
ran the **** out of them. Neither of them gave me any problems. Dunno
why, but I never developed a taste for big, heavy motorcycle.s

I wonder how many Honda motorcycles have had *no* mechanical problems during 66.000 miles - *and*
never been in a shop?

Honda's break too. And at least John has the skills to work on his instead of take it to an $85.00 an hour just to have it 'serviced'. Besides, he rides his. Rides it a lot and isn't afraid to take it on long trips. It's not a garage queen

Actually, it's also a bit too big to store down in the basement waiting for good weather!

That's rich coming from someone who used to ride an imitation Gold Wing. ;-)

Cool. At least there's no rod sticking out the side of the case!

Not yet, anyway!

Two work great but like John said, one will get you home- been there myself!
