Third bike, third Honda, circa 1969
1967 Honda CL160 (not near as fast as second bike, second Honda, a 1967 CB160 purchased new)
Only 1.3 mile to work, but went through a few brake/taillights. No LEDs back then!
The metalflake gold helmet was purchased for that second Honda in New Jersey, circa 1967. Leather lined. I was wearing it went I went down in a snowstorm, resulting in snow being pushed behind the face plate.
On that 1967 CB160, key switch under tank, no kill switch (stop/run) and no throttle return cable. Made it awkward when throttle cable froze!
It was white, so I was camouflaged in the snow!
Feeling nostalgic today. Using search on the forum, wanting to not duplicate a post, I came across some posts from Eric / Long Ranger.
Good health and safe riding to all!
