New guy from Princeville Illinois
« on: October 13, 2014, 08:38:14 AM »
Greetings from the Underdog
I live outside Princeville Illinois. I have owned Triumphs, Norton, Honda and mostly Harleys. My first Honda was a 1974 Honda CB550, it was cool but I really wanted a 1975 Honda CB750 more than anything. I actually thought it was my ex wife's fault I couldn't have one. Looking back I was probably wrong about that. Well I finally got one. A red 75 with 8100 miles on it that has sit for quite a while. It had bags and a Windjammer fairing on it which I have removed as I want that 75 look. It has normal problems from sitting around but will be a great project this winter.

I like my women a little big. Natural. Now, they shave this and wax that. It's not right. I love natural women. Big women. This trend in women has to go. Bulomia, anorexia. That's just wrong. You know what will cure that? My special sticky buns. One lick of my sticky buns and your appetite will come right back. ~ RIP Mr. Borgnine  01/24/1917 - 07/08/2012  :'(

Nice bike!
I went to school in Peoria, @ Bradley U.
I once rode through Princeville on my old SuperHawk one fine Sunday afternoon in the Spring of 1970, stopped for gas and a Coke and Snickers for lunch! In those days, it wasn't much more than a general store and gas pump, and the Princeville sign made of wood showing the "POP" number, IIRC. I made 'the loop' thru Chillicothe, then back along the river to school and supper.

Ah, those were the days!
