Did ya ever nick your dads bike and go for a sedate spin to the beach for ice-cream? has to be sedate, she's 60 years old now, runs like a watch. with loud exhausts coz' them internals have long rotted away :)

Think I'd better bring home some ice-cream.

Cb450 blackbomber, lots of firsts for honda, 100mph, dohc, torsion valve springs, 1965.

It's restored, my dad loves this era of hondas, we have quite a few, another 450 is in the works, hopefully this time a 5 speed. Had a fun time barreling along back roads

I didn't get murdered, I came home bearing a galaxy ice-cream.

I love it. Tell your dad that some internet weirdo said it's absolutely gorgeous.

Hah, nice. My 1980 XR500 is a 5-speed. I kinda wish it had a 6th, but the top speed is already ~90MPH, and I don't think a big dirtbike has any business going that fast anyway.

Gifts of ice cream always go well with dads.
