When I came back to bikes in 1992, I bought a leftover Honda NT650 Hawk. It was my first bike in 34 years and I cared for it with a passion.
A fellow I knew quite well always admired the bike and often pestered me to sell it to him. When I decided to move up to a larger bike I sold him the Hawk which was in pristine condition.
A year or so later I saw the bike which was filthy dirty and obviously poorly cared for. Even the clear coat was flaking off the front forks. It certainly wasn't the bike I let go and I wished I hadn't seen it that way.
