Illinois, mainly because I couldn't afford a car.

Ahhh...the smooth fendered Honda. The fenders on mine looked like they
came from an early Japanese horror movie.

???




You've never seen the fenders on a 250cc Honda Dream? The fenders came
with a "crease" in the center and looked like some sort of Japanese
cartoon art.

??? The 250 Dream (247cc) had the well known, and quite distinctive,
"roman helmet" style fenders, Harry. Just like the 160 Dream and the
305 Dream.


Is that what the edges of the front fender were called? Roman helmet?
Whatever. I thought they were inspired by Japanese cartoon art. Anyway,
there was a "folded edge or crease" on each side of the center of the
fender. The joke then was they were made out of old Japanese beer cans.
But I sure liked that bike.

Mine looked like this, but this one wasn't mine:

The only thing it lost was the master cylinder in the hydraulic brakes.
The hand brake worked good until I saved up enough money to buy a new
master cylinder on my measily $100 Navy check....

Reminds me. In the Med in '64 I signed up for stateside delivery of a
Triumph Spitfire. $500 down, taken right from my Navy payroll.
One of those deals where vendors come aboard.
Back in the states my ma talked me into not going through with the
deal. Lost the $500, about half a years salary.
No biggie. Didn't need much money then. But it does **** me off now
when I think about it. Could have invested that in IBM. Uh huh.
Think I spent the same with another ship vendor the next Med trip for
Encyclopedia Americana delivered to my ma's house, but that was
actually worth it.

--Vic

You have to wonder what the ships social committee made off those deals.

Ahh, well. If memory serves, "Eisboch" vouches for him. Makes you
wonder. But not much. FloridaJim is from the same batch of vomitus as
the rest of The Seven Little Schitts.

Did you ever see that photo he posted of that old, clapped-out
Wellcraft? There was one just like it down at the local marina that had
been abandoned by its owner and was being broken up for dumpsterville.
