nhchris Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 (edited) OK, Morgan too hard. (Bug eye Sprite maybe?) OR... How about your bike on a cable-stay bridge? This one is close to home...

That's probably a lot more accessible for many potential participants... So, off-topic, but I've been meaning to ask about your profile photo. Is that a CX500 Turbo? What gloriously bizarre motorcycles, in the way only Honda could pull off in that era... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nhchris Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 It's actually a 650 turbo I had the pleasure of riding. Owned by a friend and lovingly maintained. (Best of all worlds:) Quite an experience letting the turbo spool up. Was kind of like if you could go on-the-fly from B to A mode during takeoff. Weird! Plenty of frame flex to keep you focused in the corners and those weenie tires seemed from another century... which they were. It had some sort of turbo gage that was fun to watch and the bike sounded great also. Would I trade my FJ for one???? No way! 1 1968 Triumph Bonneville 650 1971 Norton Commando Roadster 2002 Harley 1200 Sportster 2003 Honda ST 1300 2016 FJ 09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn’t tell if it was the 500 or 650... the paint accent didn’t look day-glo enough to be a 650. Yeah, they were unique bikes, for sure. Mostly I just appreciated the swagger of Honda for taking the most agricultural bike in the lineup (the CX workhorse), and semi-successfully morphing it into a high tech sport tourer. I can’t even imagine what it would cost to buy a clean & original one these days... Anyway, back to cable tension bridge hunting! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member rustyshackles Posted June 22, 2020 Premium Member Share Posted June 22, 2020 The next challenge is a photo of your bike with an official, unaltered street sign or sign indicating a location (for example highway exit sign) that includes the word tracer.

Premium Member fddriver2 Posted June 22, 2020 Premium Member Share Posted June 22, 2020 Ooooo. Interesting. That I like.

Premium Member rustyshackles Posted July 5, 2020 Premium Member Share Posted July 5, 2020 Let’s soften the challenge a bit. Photo of your bike with any unaltered sign or marker of any kind with: the word tracer included or the letters f and j next to each other, no spaces or punctuation between, can be imbedded within a longer word or string of characters or just the numbers 09 (“9” not acceptable) 1 IBA Member #59800 3 Nations Brewing Mug Club #100 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
