-94 Honda Gold Wing Aspencade, 40K miles, been across the
country 4 times, all over the Maritimes, upper Quebec, New England,
etc. 40 mpg avg., when loaded. Fairly turn key, but needs tires,
brakes, etc. etc. Would love a new GW.
-75 Harley Davidson FXE Shovelhead, elec and kick start. My
first new motorcyle, bought it at Jake's HD in Detroit 5-'75.
60+K miles. 45 mpg. Showing her age and needs an overhaul
and cosmetic surgery. It sticks out in the parking lot at any
M'cycle gathering, as it's not lost in the sea of newer HDs.
A dinosaur of a motorcycle but she has soul...
Used only for short cruises, lol!
