The other day I exited the Hamilton-bound freeway to avoid a rush "hour" traffic backup and was stopped at a red light. A gorgeous 1983 Honda V65 Magna pulled up next to me. The ride was in excellent condition - not showroom, but well taken care and pretty well in stock-looking condition. I complimented the owner and he proudly acknowledged. He commented on my ride as he stared at the left side of my 2014 CB1100 and said it was in great condition, "... that has got to be, what?, 'bout 35 years-old?". I realized at that moment Honda did a great job. I can't think of a better compliment than that.
