Took the 175 to work today. It’ll go 80 mph, but you’re gonna wish it wasn’t. Hoo boy does this thing feel sketchy on the freeway. 3” wide vintage style tires will find every groove on the road. Also, fuck the guy in front of me who decided to enter the freeway going 40 mph. Made it to work without breaking down or turning off which was nice. The case did start leaking a again a bit.

It’s almost like going 80 on a mountain bike.

I’m pretty sure my mountain bike has better suspension and better tires.

The bikes you’ve posted are light years ahead of this motorcycle in the suspension/brakes/materials/safety categories.

I’ve only had this one for a month or so. I also have a ‘73 CL450.

Yeah, I got to test that puppy out today. Keeps you on your toes when you know that’s what’s stopping you. My other bike also has a cable drum up front. Fade city.

They offer a suggestion of stopping. On my other bike I’m thinking of painting  “fade” with an arrow going around the drum.
