Where did you ride today?

Snotbox went to visit my mum this weekend. It's annoyingly good as a bike, eats up the miles & not bad on fuel (50mpg despite what the reviews said). But it's so bloody ugly & a Honda & ugly. Did I say it's ugly? comfy enough & the wind protection is good on a 5c misty might for 200miles coming home, especially as I did it in under 3 hrs & about a 1/3rd of it has average speed cameras.

It's bloody ugly though, but not as ugly as a GS or Indian Chief thing but ugly.

We need a current pic of the ugly to either concur or not.

Must be a Honda thing Hooli. I've only really had one Honda road bike. 1978 750F1.Ugly bike I thought.Very average, seat, brakes but did the job. One crook fr wheel bearing only thing it ever did wrong. Total fond memories of that one. 812 kit, exhaust, air filter, upgraded cam, went well. Actually revved more than a 14.

I'm sure you've had some?
This ugly, charmless Snotbox. I can't really fault it except for the damage it's had so it's slightly bent etc but it is utterly charmless & like every Honda I've had I don't get on with the gearbox.

Haven't owned a Honda, since the early, eighties. The last one, being a 550 K4. 

As I remember them, you could have a sandwich and a cup of tea, while you waited for the brakes to work, in the dry. 

In the wet, you would do better, to hold your hanky out and use it like a parachute. 

Rather slow, no ground clearance and very, thirsty.

Ahh, the good old days. Thank God, they are only a memory.
