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.

Interesting observation on the local weather conditions.

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.

Pre-boating, unless you consider Uncle Sam's Canoe Club as boating.

Well, they didn't call Joe Lucas the "Black ([K]night" or the "Prince

Q. why do the british drink warm beer?
A. Because Lucas builds refrigerators, too!


With Italian cars and motorcycles, one could say the same thing of Magneti

Be careful. You're treading on thin ice. Moto Guzzis haven't had electrical
problems for weeks.
