The Case of the Too-powerful bike

[cooldrum_imp]

There's something about riding small bore bikes. In addition to my CB, I also ride a '67 Honda 305 Scrambler. Yep, it has open pipes (no snuff or nots) and is a hoot to ride. Redline is 9000 rpm and that little twin moves along as you stir that 4 speed tranny. You're able to use all that power and you really become engaged while riding. Plus, it's so light that you can move it around easily on the road. Funny how we thought full litre bikes were the ticket to pure enjoyment when the small bore bikes can deliver just as much fun depending on how and where you ride. It's about the ride now and not necessarily the destination on why I ride these days.
