    Took my 1976 Honda CB550F super sport for some real miles finally, 200 in 2 days. 135 on the second 65 the first. and about 80 with a passenger. It's not the fastest, cruises comfortably at 70, but will get up to 100, and it'll corner very well for a skinny tired bike. wish i had a picture with me and the girl on the back.

    Started in San Francisco, shot down to San Jose, spent the night, then went to Santa Cruz for a day at the beach, back to San Jose, dropped the girl off, and back up to San Francisco! was going to do more this week and weekend, but I'm in a sling, and on pain meds for a messed up shoulder, separated AC joint, and tear in rotator cuff.

    I like it man!

    Grew up in Hollister and spent a lot of time in SF. My favorite city in the world! And I've been to many.

    Wish it wasn't so damned expensive though. Maybe I'll be able to afford it once the kids move out.

    Next time make th egirl come up to you so you can take the PCH down to Santa Cruz, much better view!
