BTW, my 350f went the fastest it has ever gone in the back of that minivan. Something like 110MPH through Death Valley. :)

But I thought those 350f's could pull 85 in second gear?

Easily. But only if you leave your waxed canvas jacket at home and wear the tightest skinny jeans that you can squeeze into. It's all about beating wind resistance. I make music, clothes, and ride vintage motorcycles.

lol we decided a while ago that he should be allowed to have his own section where douchebags can go be douchebags. I miss his bull#$%* antics and the hilarity of the responses to said antics. Don't forget, I ride vintage motorcycles, make music, and make clothing!

I could easily ride on over to Brooklyn and see if I can find him in the wild. Maybe see some of those hipster clothes and hear some of that jive ass music he's talking about. Maybe he'll even make his wife titty flash me. You know, cuz she's so perfect and hot.

I have a story to share. My bike, but I wasn't "near" it at the time. A friend borrowed my CB350f for a big moto trip about four years ago. He didn't have anything else to ride, so he chanced 2000 miles through death valley, along highway 1, and over some serious passes with my old Honda along with four others of us.

Anyway, an errant piece of slag finally wore out a main rod bearing and the engine was shot. At the same time, another guy on the trip was ready to quit because of his sore back. Soooo, we rented a minivan and loaded up my Honda in the back using the seat anchors as tie downs. The guy with the bad back, and the guy initially riding my Honda traded between the minivan and "bad back's" motorcycle to get some riding in and to rest sore backs.

One of the guys was zipping along in the minivan away from the rest of the motorcycles doing about 85MPH when an officer caught up to him and pulled him over. The officer came up yelling and swearing, and then stopped. Looked in the back of the minivan, and said is that a 1971 Honda CB350? My buddy said, "I think it's a 73". The officer said, "That's a great bike. Okay, it's windy out here and dangerous, I need you to slow down. Be safe." And that was it!

BTW, my 350f went the fastest it has ever gone in the back of that minivan. Something like 110MPH through Death Valley. :)
