Default Added Photos in Profile Album

Sorry this took so long but I've finally got around to adding some photos of the CA-95 in an Album under my profile. We had a ball this fall riding them to the local cider mills and cruising the back roads of rural Michigan.

Happy Holidays!!!

Jim & Melanie

Nice pictures. Now we just need to get through the chilly Michigan winter to get back to riding our little Hondas.

Too bad the riding season is so short in Michigan. At least we got them back on the road instead of leaving them in storage like we did for the past 12 years. Where does the time go...

Wow looking good! A pair of Hondas with fresh white walls on theme - don't see that too often.

Thank you. The previous set of tires were 12 years old and like new except for sidewall checking that I didn't trust. The new tires have a wider rib which makes them "squirm" less when changing lanes. I've been impressed with how maintenance free these little machines have been. I'm also impressed with how well engineered they are considering their age; I'm sure that's why there are so many survivors.

Oddly enough, the reverse is also true when you have unreliable vehicles that break-down at low mileage and sit in a corner for years... go figure.

Happy Holidays

Very nice, very nice indeed. I hope you have many trouble free miles ahead of you.

Sam.
