Who says I’m not pissed over tax breaks to millioniares? This really isn’t the place to talk about that though. I’m not the one who brought up Teddy Roosevelt

I just hate to see perfectly good bikes get “improved” like this. But then, I always seem to find barely ridden dusty and rusty vintage bikes sitting in junk yards with cool aftermarket parts on them, so I guess the previous generation of “cafe” or “chopper” builders are where they come from.

Who cares if “all they did” was slap a sticker on it and take the fender off? It’s yummy. Hey Parkwood, your passion is misplaced (IMHP). Dude, it’s just a motorcycle. Get pissed over tax breaks for millionaires.

Yeah?!? Well you ain’t Teddy Roosevelt, and what the critics are trying to say is that the man who was in the arena with this bike didn’t do much except slap a sticker on it and take the fender off. The builder of this bike most certainly bid not dare greatly. I’ve seen more daring creations built as pit bikes.

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.” – Theodore Roosevelt

Ehhh, it’s a early 80′s CB-F with the nice wheels they got in Europe and Canada with the tail chopped off and clip-ons. The stock footpeg hangers look silly with the passenger pegs still there. If the suspension had been upgraded (USD forks maybe) and bigger brakes installed it would be more impressive, but as it is it’s just a nice paint job away from the usual rattle can flat black rat bike I’ve seen many of.

I’ve always loved the late 70′s-early 80′s Honda F models. They had cutting edge technology and styling that set the standard until Honda came out with the Interceptor. The body parts were waif-like compared to all the other Japanese offerings, and the tail section was one of the most crucial pieces to tie it all together. That is the only aspect of this bike I would change. It looks incomplete and chopped off w/o it.
