my motor pool - past/present
« on: April 26, 2026, 10:38:05 PM »
Today
8 cylinders if you add 'em all up, and total age of these 3 vehicles is 43 years.



1968
My first (our first) vehicle - loved it - my teen-aged wife and I rode this thing all over New England back roads! Paid right at $230 OTD new, in Massachusetts.


1969
Bought one just like this during medic training in TX - a superb bike!


2014
The Forza. i don't want to talk about it.... *


@2016
Son's Honda CB500X, my Burgman and the ol' LIKE200i


I really liked my son's Honda X - soo tractable and easy to ride! Upright and comfy riding position.
Build quality was superb.(I often think I should have let him sell it to me when he moved up to an R6 (a rather stupid street bike IMHO))

And, I'm feeling a little peculiar.

would love to see a late 60s Honda motorcycle delaership...all those little shiny bikes lined up!

Man, my 3 bikes are 42 + 30 + 12 years old = 84 years. Geriatric?
