      Wish I still owned it. Loved that bike. Mind you I seem to get attached to my mechanical machines.

        A friends 74 CB 550 in the early 90s. This was the first fully legal road bike I ever rode.... it was exhilarating. I didn't yet have a moto license or even a permit yet, but would within the year. I took my road test on this bike. Sadly my friend lost interest in about a year and the bike was left to weather in a condominium complex parking lot before being twice.

              Mr Dorkburgers 550 4 reminds me of the first time I was arrested on a bike. It was right after I got back from a 1000 mile trip and got busted almost in front of my house. That was a pretty good bike.

              Voting for Mr Dorkburger.

                  Can't vote for myself so Dorkburger gets my vote for the 550/4.

                  Almost as good as the 500's​​​​

                    No rule that says you can’t vote for your own pic.

                    I’m voting for Eli69.
                    I think I’ve met that kid.

                        I like both those old Hondas. No accessories, no luggage carrying capacity, just motorcycle! Six of one, half dozen of the other, I'll go with Dorkburger's 550/Four. But both are totally proper scooters.

                          Went back and forth all day between Bob's wide eyed little girl and Dave's Mom pic. For sentimental reasons voting for Redman and Mom.

                          Life is a balancing act, enjoy every day, "later" will come sooner than you think. Denying yourself joy now betting you will have health and money to enjoy life later is a bad bet.

                              I really like the pic, reminds me of stopping along the way back to my home town.

                              I never got nostalgic or emotional when I traveled back in car or truck

                              it's been several years since I've went back to hometown on a motorcycle voyage, used to twice a summer.

                              Last time I did ,I left right after work six - seven hour ride, got there around midnight and just rode around town for about a bit just reminiscing about the past ,before I went to my cousins who knew I'd be late and left a light on for me.
