Welcome Licorice Pizza (LP) lovers! Setup guides and Vinyl FAQ.

I had a few also.

Couple of Hondas include a 400-Four that I rebuilt.
But my favorite was the Yamaha SR-500. Single cylinder street bike, kick start only. Not fast but great torque. You could loaf along in top gear, roll into the throttle, and the bike would just go.
I also had the later version, the SRX-600. That bike was faster and handled better but it wasn't as comfortable and didn't have the torque curve of the 500 even though the engine had more displacement.
I never read the Pirsig book although I wanted to.
I sold off all my bike stuff in 1994. Was using the bike primarily for commuting to work and, yeah, that isn't the safest use of a motorcycle.
The fatality rate on Interstate highways is about the same as it is for car drivers, but in the city, the motorcyclist fatality rate is about 4 times higher than for drivers.



The blissful counterstroke-a considerable new message.
