Nice lean angle in your avatar Tom!

I can appreciate that old Honda even though it is not my cup of hot Java.

I'm pretty sure I was dead upright and it was the road surface leaning away from me! Tilt the picture counterclockwise some and it will all make sense. Those Killboy people are pretty skilled at making you look good.

I like CB's and have a few but would never buy a 360.

it's the only way to succeed to sell it at $3690

These bikes weren't that bad, they actually work well in congested urban areas where the speed limits are not over 45 to 50 mph. A rack, and it'd be a good commuter gas saver rider/grocery getter.

My brother in law had a blue one. It was a nice bike for commuting around town. He never had any trouble out of his. Yes, it was slow but it was his first and only bike.

I commuted into San Francisco from the peninsula on a couple of my 350s (literally wore them out). Homemade cargo box on the back and some WW2 era plastic/canvas windshield jury rigged on the front. The days of a single income with a new family working for wages at the phone company - money was always tight. I would get used tires from the shops - if it had any tread left on it I'd use it.

These were the years of H2 down for catastrophic crashes and too expensive to fix, had to save for that.

Isn't it funny how those days were pretty fun ones? I had times like that myself.

I'm still cringing from using the word "commuted". Valid use but feels funny.

When I was a kid, Dad got one of these in the deal when he brought the S3 I currently have home. It actually ran quite well. Seemed to be somewhat heavy handling from what I remember......but then again, we were riding it around on mostly gravel roads. It did run well though for what it was.
