HONDA motorcycles start everytime,  run great, no complaints (if you're sized right for the task) I'll take them every day of the week. 

1st - A well used 1962 HONDA Dream a real pig. A 305 ci Super Hawk engine, 4 speed desperately needed a 5th, 384 overloaded lbs. Paid $200 should have put it in our barn and left it there as an old classic. No pictures that I can find.

2nd - A red 1970 new HONDA 350 Scrambler the most fun bike I ever had, I have a spec sheet somewhere for it   -but-  I think it was 33 hp, about  90 mpg and 100 mph top speed which I tried once on a freeway like an idiot.  Never did that again.  Got it on sale in January about $735 +/- a real steal.  Went on off road, hill climbed plus drove it to YSU often and over every inch of roads in Mill Creek Park.  Great gas mileage.  I  absolutely loved  this bike.  

3rd - A nice 1974 new HONDA 500 Four  nice but not enough engine for me.  A smooth cruiser but it won't keep up with your friends.  Got rid of it quick.

4th -  A real nice used  1975 HONDA 750 Four  and a real nice cruising bike. Decent gas mileage and quick enough to get going in traffic. I paid exactly  $1,600 and got $1,600 for it about 4 years later.   The guy said when I called to bring some help to get the bike out of his apartment one flight down.  No problem I was working midnight and got two big millwrights to help us.  He had it in his apartment all winter it was super clean and polished.  Great bike !

When I sold it in 1979 I wasn't sure if I wondered if I wanted a new HONDA with a radiator (BAD IDEA !)  or a new Harley.   Well I met my wife that year and guess what..... ...yeah I never bought another bike.  Smart ?  Maybe but down deep I always wanted another one.  

I worked down the mill with a millwright who drag raced 1966 Mustang HiPo (High Performance) cars at the strip and street.  He was big time all in with a trailer and the works.  I wired up his garage and cellar for a welder, compressor,  wheel changing machine,  lights, plugs the works all in conduit in exchange he gave me a boat load of stuff he didn't need for his car and worked on it in his garage.  A nice win/win for both of us. 

But here's where it started day 1 in my mother's driveway with the 10 day tag in the rear window.   A nice little car that was replaced by my 1969 Z-28 and on it went with my love of motorcycles and muscle cars.

I used to have Camaros.  And I also had a Belvedere.  Was his push-button automatic transmission like mine?

My 1969 Z-28 was the best car I ever had !  

My cousin tried to make his Belvedere into a muscle car I don't think that it was an old " juke box drive ". 

The only memorable thing about it was when he was in the NAVY and on his way home and it broke down in Sweetwater Tennessee.  and he had to wait there for parts.  Sounds like a country & western song.

This picture was taken at my aunt's house that I bought in 1975.

What a muscle car  era.    I also bought a used 1966 Austin Healy Mark III around  1970 and  always  had a motorcycle.  

Car on top my Z  car on bottom my cousin's  about  1965 Belvedere. 

What a great car to have when you're in college....... and I was working down the mill,. Some really unreal times.

The pictures are changing tires and first day I had the car where else but at home.

I always had linkage issues with the 3 on the tree shifter so I put in a really neat 3 speed shifter on the floor with a comfortable big white shifter knob........cool !  Also put that cap over the bed on it.

I did buy two new motorcycles including my all time favorite  HONDA 350 Scrambler really fun on or off road riding.
