I bought the bike I'm sitting on in August 1966, new, for $700. Here it is, 1967, the start of "The Summer of Love". :icon_lol:(http://i17.tinypic.com/6g1ckkj.jpg)
Dinner on your motorcycle? I get the impression you liked it. :icon_mrgreen:
Another pic....the "portrait" angle. I had that 305 scrambler for three years and put over 21K on it during that period. I never had a car then. Back then, cars were luxury items poor college kids didn't have.

Mate I really like this bike, what is it.
bubba,
The bike is a 1970 Honda CB-450/K-1. Back in the early '70s, when factory sport bikes were virtually non-existant (an exception being a JPS Norton), we had to "roll our own" cafe racers, to borow a Brit term. The mods on the bike inclluded a Rickman front fender, reworked front forks, Koni shocks, Honda CB-250 sport bars, Dunlop K-81s (TT 100s), and a Yamaha race bike tail. In the '70s, this was a rare set-up in the midwest. By todays sportbike standards, it certainly would be a back marker, but "in its day", I could run with Honda 4s, except on real long straightaways.
