Hope you are going well, my friend!
Honda 305 Dream. My first motorcycle that came from a shop instead of a junk yard.
In my lifetime, the CB750 changed the world. It wasn't until 1973 that Kawasaki answered with the Z-1.
I remember the first time I heard one. Sitting outside, eating my lunch at the Waterloo Courier in Waterloo, Iowa. We heard SOMETHING coming across the Cedar River on Park Ave. The guy must have had it in second gear, because it was SINGING. When he went by, those of us who had bikes were put into a trance.
I felt the same way when I saw my first Mustang coupe in 1964.
Then came the GoldWing.
It was the Golden Age for motorcycles, as far as I was concerned, and Honda was always at the front of the pack.
