Yes. Just one though. It's the most recent one in the Honda gallery. Not the best pic as it was a bit cloudy, but at least you get the bonus of my garage door looking like a TMW billboard in the background.

the challenge

It isn't hard to find bikes that have been purchased and forgotten, but it is hard to pass up on the ones that you know are going to be a problem.

That's a fine looking ride. Props to your wife for trying it out. We went on one ride around the block and that will be the LAST time she ever rides. We never exceeded 10mph, she just became a nervous wreck as soon as she sat on it, and never recovered.

I sure do! Those high-pipe Scramblers were cooool, man! Groovy!:mrgreen:

Around 1970, a chum of mine had a gold-colored 450 Scrambler that he terrorized the community on. He had pulled the baffles out and you could hear it miles away!
Let me get this straight... it's one down and four up, right?

Yep, my wife passed the MSF course (2nd try on the skills test) and got her license and she's insured. But she's not ready for the road yet. A couple more parking lot sessions and she's going to brave the trip to the grocery store. We live 5 minutes from downtown Seattle so the quiet country road is a ways from here. She's really looking forward to riding.

You lucky dog. I've looked everywhere for a backrest for this bike and can't find on. My wife would feel a lot more secure on the back with something behind her.

Sweet bike Ron. I'd love to find something like that for my wife. We are constantly looking but they just don't make little bikes anymore and we can't really fork over 2-4 k for the few small bikes still produced new. We see a 125-250 cc street bike from the 70's pop up now and again and they are gone in less than a day. Don't sell yours!
