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: http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...ream250_65.jpg Oh...it was a hell of a long time about, but I don't recall that mine had whitewall tires. I had a black version of the CB 160 http://www.motorcyclemuseum.org/classics/bike.asp?id=61 There was a 150 Honda dream that seemed a bit clunky with the heavy plastic fenders. http://www.jwoodandcompany.com/2001/...a/MVC-469F.jpg Those fenders were very similar to the ones on my old Dream. |

That's where it spent most of its time, too, sitting in the driveway. It was a mechanical and electrical P.O.S. It was sort of like the girl I was dating at the time...very pretty, with really nice upholstery, but it was damned hard to start her up and keep her running. Isn't it interesting this is the same English company that made the Morris Minors I always loved. I had a little green saloon, a drophead coupe and always wanted the little woody wagon but never found one I could afford on sailor's pay. My 37hp drophead, with its white racing stripes to match the 6 light and 8 badge bar, not to mention its 37hp monstrous 4-cylinder powerplant, was my favorite. A little '41 Ford convertible, made in 1964. 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.... There's a towtruck company downtown that has a lot of Morris and Austin Minis....the real ones not the new BMW fake ones. They are pretty proud of them when you ask the price....(c; WAFA's tale follows: Sometime in the early 1960s, I was driving back from Ft. Leonard Wood to Kansas City in a nice old MGA I owned at the time. About halfway home it started raining heavily, I turned on the wipers, and EVERY SINGLE electrical accessory and light in the car flashed on, there was a large popping sound and it all blew out at once. And the car caught fire. I pulled over to the side of the road, watched the fire, removed my license plate and hitched on home. For all I know, that old MGA is still there. Sure was a pretty little car. |

Eisboch My buddy is driving his 305 on Sir Francis Drake Blvd, in Marin County and loses it. Big time, goes sliding down the road, to come to a stop as it touches the front bumper of a CHP car. And talks his way out of a ticket. |

You mean they have Jarheads that know how to drive a boat? Piffle - just like our Navy - bus drivers for the real military. Must be smart ones up there. HEY!!!! :) some of us were smarter than Jarheads. We dealt with the taxi service and did not get a lot of purple hearts in the process. Did miss combat pay being stateside in an airconditioned electronics shop. |

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. Social committee? Never heard of that, and never gave any thought about the vendors got aboard, or how they were vetted. Seemed they were on the up and up, and I bought some nice stuff to bring home as gifts for family. German cutlery and Venetian glass is what I remember. I was a kid and probably waited too long to cancel the deal, and maybe didn't read the fine print. Can't remember the details, but never considered blaming the Navy. It was my fault, and the experience always kept me on my toes in future transactions. Only thing I had against the Navy was them pulling a molar of mine that was aching in Naples. I'd still have that tooth now if they did a root canal. We were in for a few days, but the guy was pull-happy. Maybe even penicillin would have fixed it. I still remember the Lt. with big forearms straining to pull it out. His swabby assistant walked away not wanting to watch and the Lt. yelled at him, "Get your ass back here and hold his head!" Lots of blood. ****ers. But hey, that's the Navy. Another Lt. at NAS Norfolk did an excellent job saving a dead front tooth I had chipped as a kid. Win some, lose some. --Vic You at least had a bad front tooth. Air Force dentist accidently nailed the front tooth with a drill. They had the Full Bird Col. come in to do the root canal. |
