Wow! Cool old Honda!

Thanks.

Are you gonna cafe it?

Um, no.

Dude, that would be sweet with some clubmans, and...

Um, no. I spent a year changing it back from the Harley wannabe thing the PO had going.

What about some cool pipes?

Those ARE cool pipes (I have 341s). Do you have any clue how hard those are to find in good shape?! It took a year to find a decent set that I could afford!!!   

um... cash or charge?

you got that right. now, I actually like the tricked out cafe thing. but if I was gonna do it then

2. I wouldn't cut up a nice, clean stocker to do it.

my step dad told me once when I was explaining that feathered back hair and bell bottoms were "the thing" he said "no it's YOUR thing".  Point taken and I've never forgotten.
