The bikes of my youth include; Honda 50, Honda 305 scrambler, Honda CL 450, Honda CB 450, Honda CB 750, Honda 360t, Honda Nighthawk 650, 250, 750, 750, 250, 750 and yet another 750. A couple of Triumph Bonnevilles and now the Grand CB1100. The smoothest, most powerful and best of all of them (although they were all dream bikes at the time). To be honest it all began when watching Steve McQueen jump that German fence in "The Great Escape". I tried to play that one out on my 305 many times.
