Default 1987 in the right light

I have owned her since 1989, longer than I have known my wife. She has nearly 60k miles and still looking pretty good.

So much innuendo to be had But I WILL behave...........

The bike looks great - love the early model in grey.

Cheers, SB

No need to behave. I wish my wife still looked as good as my bike.

Probably. I wish I had kept it. Decided to keep mine and could have used a few more parts off the bike I sold you. It was $350.00 I sold it to you for, right? Wish I had more space at the time because I would have kept it. Again. thanks for the part you sent me earlier this year.

That's the one. I am running that motor right now and am very happy with it despite a little cam chain rattle. I still basically have a spare parts bike so give a shout if you need anything else.

My cam chain is number 3 since I got my bike in 1989. It rattles like hell when cold, but always quiets down when warmed. The 1st time Honda would not pay for the repair (14k miles), the 2nd time I got the tensioner at no charge (27k miles), but paid labor. It now has been 32k miles since then.

Very nice Neal
well more miles and appears not to be the same blue hued silver
aka officially as (Winterlake Blue Metallic)
so it may be an 88 New Yorker Silver version
but tough to call from the pic.

Nice bike looks well with same Corbin I have on mine - looks like
SuperTrapps on it. ?
