Someone please talk some sense into me!
« on: December 14, 2013, 07:51:08 pm »
Dear diary,
After many years of riding my beloved Husqvarna's, I'm contemplating riding an oriental next season, albeit a '79 Honda CR250R. I feel like I'm being unfaithful. Have I lost my mind? Please help.

Be strong Mich. , that bad feeling for the orient will pass
Autos are the way forward , see you round like a robot

About time your brain clicked into gear Hughes, I reckon that's a smart move and as you know im not a Honda man.
At least from now on you can actually get some track time when you go riding instead of practicing your spark plug changing skills and wearing out the kickstarter on those sewing machines. Sorry mate just my point of view.

Ride something left of centre. Euro is the only way to go.

Put a bare Honda CR250 frame next to a bare Husky 250CR frame and you will see you are not straying to far from the fold.  Heck put an aluminum Husky CR tank on it if you want to ease yourself into the change.

If everybody had one, no one would lose.....  ::)

And I'd rather have a bike that works and starts than be left swearing at the start line flaggie to wait for to start my bike again.

No that's a fallacy . That's just poor bike prep from the owner...

I'm conflicted. It's all the ME360's fault (see Honda thread under Christmas present). Damn pretty bikes.
