Current Rides:
'Grumpy' - '81 Standard, now fully dressed.
'Layla' - '81 Standard w/dealer installed fairing and Hondaline bags.
'Scarlett' '76 'Survivor' nekkid as a j-bird!

Under Construction:
The 'Jalopy' '78-'79 Mash-up
'Quikie' '81 gl1100I back on the lift, project with the step-son!

In The Shed:
'81 gl1100I barn find aka "Josie, the farmer's daughter." (almost comatose build)
'77 gl1000, roller parts bike.
'82 gl1100I, 'Old Crusty' titled roller parts bike (free!)

Interesting until the mention of a 62 mile range and no option to flip in a new one.

Saw a couple at a road race. They were way out front. And silent. Sort of spooky

Yes, the article points out the limited range. I'm sure Honda is working on improvements. On the quietness, that just means that you have to make 'vroom, vroom' sounds while you ride, lol!
