Playing in the shed

An old bike I have long admired but never owned was the 80s Honda V65 Sabre. I did own its little brother the V45 Sabre. Very nice motor.

The Honda V65 Sabre was one of my favorite bikes. Zero to 60 in 2.3 seconds.

Still have my 1984 Honda Sabre V65 with the Hondaline fairing including lowers. Mint condition and only 2810 original miles. Bought it new and seldom rode it because the engine case always cooked the hell out of my right ankle (ride with deck shoes and no socks). It had been languishing in the back of the garage for 30+ years and finally got it out, rebuilt the carbs and it still screams (and burns my ankle...). Today's suspensions are much better then back then though.

The first bike I owned was a 1969 BSA Firebird Scrambler. 650cc of British Iron and I loved it. The bike was just at home on the gravel as it was on the highway.

This pic isn't of my bike but identical. Sadly the few pictures I took are gone. Painted it a dark green. Wish I had never sold it.

 

[LAS VEGAS DAVE]

We are having perfect weather here, its tee shirt weather. We rode our Rocket today, I felt guilty for not riding it since I got the Boss Hoss back. I still love it. We are getting married in a DRIVE THRU WEDDING chapel here in Vegas next Thursday on our motorcycle. We have decided to use the V8 CHOPPER since its the most radical. We have three bikes so none of them get as much mileage individually as they should. The Chopper only gets ridden locally but the Rocket and the Boss Hoss will share the longer rides depending on the route and destination. For me the Rocket is our little bike, the one that handles the best and stops the quickest. It is also plenty fast and gets good mileage. The Boss Hoss is the freeway flyer and the most comfortable cruiser on long freeways, not so great on windy roads but hauls the passenger like its not there. The Chopper is the bike show or car show ride as its always a draw. It sounds like a rail job and its fast in a straight line, not good for long rides but still the most fun of any of them to ride and the only one that makes me feel young every time I ride it.

Nice bike I wish I still had some of my old ones too. Happy to still have one.
