I dreamt I was an old dog, stuck in a honeypot. It was horrifying.

The last bike that's (for the moment) cluttering up making my driveway the mecca of awesome:

It's a 1985 Honda VF500F - the babyceptor :blush: I conned one friend into picking it up as a project for me, fixed the gimpy petcock, and am now selling it on to another friend, where it will serve as his first bike. It's ridiculously over-complicated, with fun things like fuel pumps, pneumatic suspension, hydraulic clutch, anti-dive front suspension, and so on. However, it does look pretty cool, and only the 500 has the sweet whale tail rear end - the 700/750 just has the usual 80s design of a squared off rear tail section.

These bikes are so awesome and if they weren't ridiculously over-complicated I would have kept mine.



:smith:

I've been without a bike for too long, but after I move my next bike will be one of those DRZ-400SM's.

Well, one tricky load-out of a U-haul Cargo Van and one pissed off wife (who very awesomely helped me with said tricky load-out even though she is very small) later…

My fourth bike, and a bit of a step down from my last one (07 SV650A) but still a bunch of fun. Purchased barely running and super cheap. Needs tires, and I wish it had ABS, but I'll probably end up getting an ABS Versys in a year or so and make this my track bike or wife bike.

It's an old Corbin that came with the bike, and it's ridiculously comfy.
