Ah yes, the Cafe' Racer, icon of my youth which is now long gone...  Cut my 'big bike teeth' on home built Asian speedsters. Also had the 1st purpose-designed street legal Japanese track bike, the '83 Honda V45 Interceptor. I've a later iteration of that Honda in my present two wheeled cadre, a '96 VFR 750. About all I use that power and stability for now is for brief summer evening runs going like Hell on the interstate... 'long gone' indeed.  |

I loved the sixties. What terrific memories. I look at those young people in that video and have a hard time remembering that I was just like them during this period. It is so strange. I feel young in my brain, but the image of what I was at that age is hard to remember.

About all I use that power and stability for now is for brief summer evening runs going like Hell on the interstate... 'long gone' indeed. I loved my 85 Honda 500 Interceptor back in the day's. That bike refused to die. Fast and really light weight for a 500. Seared myself silly many times on that bike.  |
