The wife on her 84 Honda VT500ft Ascot!

 

And the F2, I sold this for $500 more than what I paid for it! Ran great, but I scared myself pretty good in the SoCal Canyons and took a break.

 

Man, every time when I see a nice F2 I get nostalgic nowadays...

What happened to the front cowl? seeing a few black spots and am I imagining or is the third one a hole above the blinker?

Cool track pics!

 

it was broken when I bought it (for a song: had a flat rear tire, cracked cowl and was really dirty.) Previous owner had something hit it in the garage.
Better to look at the other side:

 

That bike rocked! I used to ride to Sedona from Flagstaff on Hwy 89a (Oak Creek Canyon) everyday to work. That F2 was the funnest thing, and never gave me a lick of trouble.

Just a little about the track day: I only had 40-50 miles on the F4i before I took it to the track, so I was SLOW, and in C group, so extra slow. I got up to 87mph on the straight and couldn't pass anyone but the girl on the Shadow 600, BUT I had a serious amount of fun. I saw one crash, my wife saw the other big one, 3 riders down, one went to the hospital. There were probably 15-20 riders in C group. On the track time flew by, as I hustled from corner to corner as fast as I dared. I was trying to remember everything that I had read and watched about riding smooth and fast. The track was smoother than it looks in videos. I logged 83 miles, 20 minutes at a time, on a brand new front tire, on a bike I barely knew, in a sport that I really don't know. By the end of the day I was still ready for more, but had to pack up and drive 3.5 hours home. Totally worth every penny.
