Well, I don't have my R65 anymore. Still lurking. How 'bout a 67 Trail 90? Cheap and cheerful. And, to my shame, an 91 Hardley Fatboy. The Honda had not run in 2 years, had it going in 2 hours, the Hardley was a box of junk, now it is one big piece of ... For sale soon, will y'all hate me if I get another R100?

Honda Trail 90 (model CT90).  This bike can go on the street or trails with its dual-range transmission.  The engine is simple to maintain and delivers about 100 mpg.  It's a perfect bike for the post-apocalyptic era  ;D
 


The same engine powers the Honda Super Cub; the best-selling motor vehicle in history with more than 60 million manufactured worldwide.  

There is a guy from Colorado do AHRMA Vintage trials on this bike.  His biggest compaint is that the flywheel is not heavy enough!!!!  So this winter he is going to try to weld on some weight!

Amazing   8-)

If I could have one - one of the old BSA V-twins or a Sloper single.  I'm holding out for a Panther Thumper.  Got Brits on the Brain...

I love those old BSAs, especially the V-twin.  Actually I probably love most pre-WWII bikes.  Too $$$$$$$$.

Now, if I stayed with another Airhead, I think I'd go with one of these.  I rode one a few years ago and thought it was a great ride!  Light, flickable, plenty of torque and braking power.

I'll bet you do!  I think I saw one of those in September at the Heart of Dixie Rendevous.    Sweet looking bike!
