I'm trusting to get back riding again! Looks like I'm gonna have to wait until next season though ... dammit. still healing.
still recovering - back to crutches, then walking with a stick, then running - then hopefully riding again!

Whoah, I knew you'd been there (or here), but I didn't know you had a house in the Phil. Good luck with all three, ceemes.




Back to unobtainium (unobtainia?), IMHO the Sprint is the best-looking of the sport tourers. Good lines and a great engine.

1. you buy the CB400T, bring it home and enjoy it for the summer. Heck, ride it until next spring.
2. Mike & I move back to Calgary. We fly to yours and then ride the Hammer and CB back to Calgary.

Only if you promise to bring me some TMW shirts when you fly down. And I'd have to start looking into international shippers.

Found this ad locally, though. Just not sure what bike Honda had in 1981 that had a 6 cyl 500cc motor....

Must be a typo on engine size or number of cyls. Only 6 cyl Honda back then was 1000cc.

some sweet bikes in this revived thread... there is a guy in town with Hyperrr's 1982 Katana 1100 lust-machine --- it looks pretty nice, and i just saw it again the other day. I remember seeing it parked at the local "big" mall last year too. Next time maybe i'll have my camera. Something tells me it was for sale last year for a stupid price.

Anyway, I'll throw a Ducati Supermono into the mix, and the recently introduced, limited/custom street legal version would be pretty cool too. And in keeping with retro, a Bimota V-Due.

BTW, a Britten V1000 trumps most toys for me, but a much more readily available and somewhat nostalgia-inspired race toy is currently being built by Eskil Suter...
