You meet the nicest people on a Honda. At least in 1962 when I bought my first motorcyle just like this except it was red instead of blue.

I had several other Hondas that gave me long miles and much pleasure. I had a Ducati like the one above but it was very rough and I only rode it for a week until I started restoring it. I dragged it around for years until I finally let it go unfinished.

I had two of these. Parts of both are in my basement. A cafe racer project that I have been dragging around for years. Maybe it's time to get rid of it. Or not.

I've had two BMWs. I have one almost like this. Same color but a 1982 with a few upgraded parts such as cast wheels. It has sat for almost 3 years after being my daily transport for 5 years. I think I need to start working on it...as soon as Katie moves her stuff out of the basement, which should be in a couple of weeks. It's the best bike I've ever owned.
