my old honda


This was my life's work for about 9 years! Sometimes I really wish I'd never sold this bike(it went boxing day 2005). But there you go. I love the older stuff- but I like reliability a whole lot more. Not that I mind working on bikes, it's just I prefer do it by choice-ie building-rather than necessity.

    I have a 550 from '78 and even though it isn't worth a damned dime or the time it takes to keep it up I love it. I'm moving soon and can't bring myself to get rid of it. I should just sell it and buy one with a good primary chain when I get to my final destination, but I just can't do it.
