Cursing the fact that more snow is falling outside my window, and more is due this coming weekend! WHY, OH WHY! HAVE YOU DONE THIS TO ME HONDA!! How could you just refine an already decent bike and force me to visit my dealer, only to pledge to throw all my hard earned money at him for the next couple of years!? Should I even add the fact that it's for a bike that hasn't reached our shores yet!? I'm even on a first name basis with Takashi who probably knows more about my bank account than I do! I tell ya, it feels like when I was 15 waiting for 16 so I could get my license. Why is the end of March so far away!? What if the boat it comes over on, sinks?

Know how ya feel, but soon all this agony will just be a distant fading memory..like the winter of 77-78.

Wasn't that the winter of '78-'79?
Edit: I see now that Cinci had a bad one in 77-78. I think Chicago had it bad in 78-79...

Wow, you got your driver's license at 16? We here in the ultra-safe state of NJ have to wait till age 17. Back in the day I used to sneak out my dad's dump truck to ride the main drag through town just to satisfy the urge to drive. I was also known to sneak out my old '67 Kawasaki 120 Roadrunner at 3 AM with my buddy on his Yamaha 100 Trailmaster, just to see what it was like to shift through all the gears. As I remember, my top end speed was about 45 MPH or so...
Hey, that might be a cool new thread-confessions about what kind of shinanigans people did on their bikes when we were more foolish!

Well here's another great video to keep you going while you count the days and more to the fact, puts faces to the great Honda guy's (and girl!) behind the bike! Enjoy

Is that the Honda delivery freighter, or a metaphor for your bank account?
