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.

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:

Oh...it was a hell of a long time about, but I don't recall that mine
had whitewall tires.
