A 72 Honda 450... A little under powered for long highway runs but a fun little bike... plus it was free!

Nice...did you ever post pics here of it?
Back around when I was 20....cut my teeth on a street bike with a mid 70's Honda CM400-T. Dark green. Gold striping.

Heres my car. 7 seater Toyota Kluger.

Handy having the 7 seats for kids and fold down for plenty of space in back for carting around pcs and boxes

Cut mine on a YZ125 with studded tires...on ice. Lots of fun.

Got this done last summer. It's on a 2009 Ford Focus. I swear the color match to my logo is a complete coincidence!

That ain't street! I meant first "streetbike".
Rode a dirt bike much earlier....
Yeah on ice is a blast. unless you're behind someone when they're running sheetrock screws in the tires like we used to do over the frozen lakes.

@colony - What a nice upgrade! Practical for the industry. It would take a similar incident for me to finally get myself a new ride... and probably something like what you decided on.

Thanks,
I see your from Gainesville, you may not like the tag thats on the back of it.. I have not had a chance to use it for business yet but, it is a nice mix of cargo room. Also it's got the little 1.6L I4 Turbo ecoboost engine in it. more than enough power and it makes filling up at the pump a little less painful than the old 4L V6 that the Sport Trac had.

I could certainly use a bit more cargo room. I'm rolling around in a Jetta and this morning I was able to fix all of my equipment in the trunk, plus a hand truck and 6 (out of 8) Dell Mini-Tower boxes. I felt pretty accomplished to get all that in there!

A Jetta was actually the rental car I had between untimely demise of the sport trac. nice car, but at 6 ft 3 275, there is a little bit of contorsion required to fit in it.

Well I just blew the motor (bearing I think) out on one of my caravans... 249k on it :/ worst part was my crew and I are/were 300+ miles from base... aaa and a penske truck with a uhaul car dolly it is.... just became a very pricey week!

Ouch. I would have just left it there... 249k doesn't seem like a lot, unless you're talking miles in which case I'd say you had a darn good run.

Well like I told my wife. With my Taurus, it's paid off. Still cheaper to put a motor in it than get into a car payment.
