That's wild.  Did they sell that suff in AUS back then?  First Honda 4 wheelers I remember over here were the early '70s Civics.  Buddy bought a ne '72 & it was crap.  I have seen a few 60's vintage Hondas lately though.

Ah, yes I vaguely remember something about that.  Ahead of their time :) being biodegradable, eh?

Man, remember the CVCC?  There use to be billions of 'em around in the states...all gone?  I haven't seen one in years.  Now I want one...always thought of 'em as crap front drive rice burners but, they were quality.

Dave, you should buy that, matches your forum 500 name. Then you could mount your dash cam and go racing in Japan!  What a blast that would be!
