Does it run?
Love the exposed piston engine or did GZ get hungry?

It must be a external combustion engine.

Reminds me of that great shot where the bike is halfway grown through the tree!
This one is actually for sale.

Ah I remember these little babies well, great for their year and gave Honda a good rep for reliability amongst the two strokes of the time.

Look at this horror show!!

actually I think the bike is so beautiful it makes my eyelids wet.
Shameless plug #12

Love the tank, like the mono-shock rear and the upside-down forks, hate the white-wall front tire, and hope you are not done with the rear frame loop!

I will NEVER understand white wall tire people.

One i should have kept. Good thing I still have a black one.

In the shop it was not called a "dream" it was called a nightmare. The reason why was the battery box in that sheet metal frame caused a lot of corrosion in the wiring that was hard to get to.

One gentle man that came to the shop had 250,000 miles on his original dream he bought new.

BTW...None of the bikes those days had white wall tires. I worked at a dealership and we never saw whitewalls.

White walls make it look great. Funny how at the moto gp everyone gathered around my black dream taking pics and no one was looking at the harleys sitting around it.

I have both aliss chalmers and John Deere tractors and as with everything made with the exclusion of chrysler (they are all crap) I would say both are good tractors but every company has its bad lines

When did this become the 'tractor buying advice' thread?

Hush · « **Reply #294 on:** September 18, 2011, 02:50:44 PM »

Oh thought you meant Harleys when you mentioned tractors!

This is what the bike looks like now.

I still have 2 sets of those whitewalls kicking around. Maybe I will make a go kart.

This is in the definitely WONDERFUL and could easily live in Hush's shed if he wasn't so broke category.
