A lot of folks are picking those up for their daily riders so they don't have to get their garage queens dirty.

Shouldn't even be riding them considering what they are worth, but as a guy says on a Honda 70 forum, "Ride 'em don't hide 'em!". I just about choke every time I look at the price of restored ones on EBay. And yes, they are TOUGH. One of them I just picked up, I thought was DOA, but I flushed the tank, new fuel lines, filter, carb kit, set the points, adjusted the valves and fired on the third kick. And then.... my wife laid claim to it. Oh well, at least she is out in the dirt with me.

Forgot! Here is my other two-wheeled interests during a weekend in the mountains of SE Oregon at our cabin.  |

Hey brother!
Have you checked for the loose nut behind the wheel? Have you been eating pickled eggs again?

Very nice Big Guy! Sometimes I am envious of y'all who are down South. If I had that set-up, it would be covered in leaves and periods of snow during late fall and winter. Also, only useable from May-Sept.

I have almost 17,000 chinos on mine and am on my third set of front pads and second set of rear shoes and it is all city commuting from 25-40mph.
