Miami University, Oxford, Ohio, 1971

On the way to Colorado, 1976

At home, 2006

I say, if I would have known that I was going to live this long, I would have kept the Honda CL175K3 that is pictured above.  I have only seen one other like it since!  This was just the machine for cruising the campus of Miami University in Oxford, Ohio.

My name is David.  I grew up in the 60's in an era where the curious phenomena of little Japanese motorcycles just started making the scene.  These cute little things were never be considered "real" motorcycles by most enthusiasts at the time.  However, for a kid, there was no better diversion that two wheels and some speed.  It was quite a revelation to find out that if you had a Honda step though 50 in first gear, pushed the gearshift back further, revved it up and lifted your foot-it would wheelie its way right down the street!

Nothing was finer than watching the speed creep up to over 60mph on my friend Jimmy Brandt's Honda Super Super 90--until you took a Honda 160 out for a spin!! Those were certainly the days!

Today, I live in the Columbus, Ohio area.  I spend most of my free time tinkering around with old Japanese motorcycles.  I have owned over 150 motorcycles, most of which I bought simply because I couldn't afford them when I was younger.  I often rescue them from dank garages in desperate locations.  I seem to get some sort of perverse satisfaction out of busting my knuckles and cleaning impossibly blocked pilot jet passages on Keihin or Mikuni carburetors.

I have put together what I hope is a good mix of motorcycles for sale, and nostalgia pictures and information.  I hope you enjoy my website.
