Frameable, by the way.

Only 2 ****toons?


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

Hee, hee, snicker, snicker.

What's next, a photo of your lawnmower engine? Sheesh.

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

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

As previously mentioned I also had a Honda 305 Superhawk and also a
Honda 350. Nice bikes for local transportation but when it comes time
for traveling for hours on long distance trips you appreciate the big,
heavy bikes. The little ones will shake you to death in short order at
65-70 mph on the highways.

I drove my Super Hawk from Kansas City to New Haven and back. Took my
time, and it was fun when I was in my early 20's. I don't much like long
distance driving these days in either cars or motorcycles. In fact, I'm
planning to trailer the bike up to New Haven and environs this summer.
That happens to be about as far as I'll drive a car, too.

We all did crazy things in our 20's that wouldn't be physically possible
now.

My longest motorcycle ride (in hours, not miles) was about 13 hours
non-stop other than for fuel or quick rest stop breaks on the return
trip from Rolling Thunder. It poured rain the whole ride back which
limited highway speed and made the trip exhausting even on a "big" bike.
