Winter

She is up for the winter. Only put a couple hundred miles on her this season, loved every mile.
Here are some bikes to look at from MidOhio this last year. All CA77's but still a dream, right?
The MadMax rhino dream
The Pirate Dream
The Bull Dream
The dream BRUT. Check out the modified tank luggage carriers....!
And finally, the Era correct, bran wrong, chopper dream
?

Months



Have passed since I last posted here. I do most of my posting over at ramen4life.blogspot.com unless it is specific to the dream. I havent had any problems or complaints. She still rides great! I still need to get new tires and possibly a chain but I dont ride her that much...she is old and has too many siblings that go quite a bit faster...
So on the way home from Bliss, a skatepark in Ibaraki, I saw this behind a huge window at a Shaken garage. I knew it was a dream so I asked Masaru to turn around (thanks!). I took 2 pictures but if you know anything about these old Hondas you can tell that this is not a 305 dream or any of the other smaller versions.. .. This is something different, the engine is is complete different. I couldnt make out the tag on the side but it was rare find for me! On the way to the mega bike parts store later today, we are going to try to stop by here and ask if we can take a closer look (they were closed yesterday). Anybody know what this is? 50`s D series honda?

Shocks..sorry


So I took the shocks off the dream tonight to chop up for my project cl350.
So if you were wondering, this is what they look like under that bulky heavy metal box. These will fit most older cb/cl models, fyi.......
They fit perfect and are 1 inch shorter and way thinner that even the shorty shocks that cost way too much.....
(don't worry, I found and bought better shocks(the originals had a lot of rust) before I did this)

It's been a while


So I started working on my cb350 street-dirtbike. Had to stop for a while because all of my funds went to a new transmission in my truck.......
40 degrees during the statistically coldest week of the year is a sweet juicy peach from the tree of paradise. Took a few kick but the baby dream started right up. after knocking the float bowl loose to keep her from running out of liquid fire, I put my helmet on and took a 5 mile ride around the neighborhood. Old men waved. Low-pants smoothtalkers looked on in confusion and I drove around just long enough to beep at Tim and Hutch and just about freeze my face off.
I love this bike. .... .. .. ... . .. .and to think I was actually questioning the need to own 3 motorcycles.....
