Honda VTX 1800C

This isn't vintage, but it is one of my Husband's bikes. In fact it is the largest in his collection and also the newest.

This 2003 Honda VTX 1800C has been a good bike for him and we have many great rides on it.

Check out this 1977 Honda Goldwing

It's been a while since there's been a "new" bike in our driveway, but he found one he couldn't do without.

This is a 1977 Honda Goldwing.  This model is the last year built in Japan before they began producing them in Marysville,  Ohio.

Notice this model seems pretty bare bones,  but look at where the gas tank is normally found.  It looks normal until it's unlocked and it's like a transformer toy. The top pops up,  a secret compartment pulls out,  the sides fold down,  and there's the coolant bottle all hidden away and the kick starter,  which can be pulled out and put in place if you need it.

The real gas tank is hidden down below the seat.

It's pretty sneaky how it was designed and I imagine it was pretty cool to show off back in the day.

There's definitely work to be done,  the handlebars are upside down,  it's got an aftermarket exhaust,  but it started right up and stayed running.

What do you think? Would you ride it? Do you like it?

1965 Honda C200

Well here's the latest but not greatest find.  He's been working to get this one for a few weeks. It's not beautiful,  but it is different.  I like how skinny this bike is. It's too bad the frame is rusted through thanks to mice nesting. There are a lot of good parts that can be salvaged. It's a fun looking little bike. 

This Weeks Bike is... Another Honda- 1966 Honda C200

Pictures forthcoming.  1965 Honda C200. Dropped off this evening. Pretty rusty and no title, but still has a lot of good parts.

Check back tomorrow to see it.

1963 Honda Dream

Yesterday my husband Chris brought home another vintage bike. This is a 1963 Honda 300, fully complete and runs.

We currently have 4 motorcycles in the garage and 2 in our sunroom. There are several others in the barn.  Some run, but not all.

Here's another old Honda, a 1965 Honda S90. 
He has it sitting on a shelf. I think we picked this one up from some guy who was selling the contents of his garage before moving.

The number plate and Hemet came from an estate auction. I tried to get him a Hodaka, but the price got way above my limits on this is what he got instead. They look good together.
