Thought this would be a good place to post this, as I've had it for more than 25 years and I still use it with my bike: Ontario Honda Fob by Vince.Lupo, on Flickr Sad that it's no longer around.

A glorious day for the Nostalgia Ride in Thurmont, MD yesterday. Clear blue skies and temps in the mid-70s. I'd say about 150-200 bikes showed up and participated, and as usual a wide variety was in attendance. Riders could choose between a 60 or a 90-mile route, as well as a ride for 'dual...

Was just emailed this from the AMA..... Mods and Rockers to take center stage at this year's AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days Classic Brit-bike café racers and vintage metal-body scooters to be featured PICKERINGTON, Ohio -- The American Motorcyclist Association is pleased to announce that the...

Didn't quite know where to post this subject, so we'll try here and see what happens.... I don't really do a whole lot of cold weather riding, but I'm wondering if anyone out there does, and what they use in terms of gloves/mitts to keep warm. I've been looking at Gerbing's line of gloves, but...

Just feeling out the level of interest for those of you in the Maryland / Southern Pennsylvania region... I'm planning the 2nd Annual Spring Ride for sometime in April (Hopefully I'll come up with a better name for the ride!). Last year we did a 75 mile ride from Reisterstown to Broom's Bloom...

I'm considering riding my '66 SuperHawk down to the Barber Museum from here in Baltimore (I'm giving Mid- Ohio a rest this year). Unfortunately I wouldn't be able to go in October when they have the vintage festival. For you guys who are more familiar with the museum, is there any other time...

Anyone here using Shell Rotella in their bikes? I've heard many things 'yea' and 'nay' regarding this oil, and I've been using it in my '66 305 SuperHawk now for a few years. It does meet JASO MA standards, but I've had a few people questioning the wisdom of using that oil in a high-revving...

Now I know that these were recalled back in the late '70s in favour of the keyed latch, but I'm in the market for a push-button gas cap latch for a CB350/CB450 tank. The one that I got with the CB350 tank I bought has a crack in it, and I think the push-button latch will look better for my...

Anyone going this year? I'm riding back out this year from Baltimore on the SuperHawk, and hopefully it's not going to pour down rain like it did last year.

I've noticed in some magazines (Like Robb Report, and even some of the New York Times Magazines) that people make associations between motorcycles and other things that might not necessarily be connected. One of the connections I've seen is wrist watches. Just wondering if anyone else has...

Here's a bit of inspiration for you CB900f owners..... Unfortunately I don't have this anymore, and it doesn't exist as it does in this photo, but this was my big stupid money pit 20 years ago. '81 900f with Wiseco 983 kit, 1100f wheels (Canadian version), 1100f carbs with a Stage III Jet kit...

Don't know if anyone's looking that far ahead, but Vintage Motorcycle Days at Mid-Ohio is from July 24-26 this year, and the featured marques are the 1969 CB750 (Sandcast), and the CBX. If you've never been, you owe it to yourself to be a part of this, if only once. Over 70,000 people were...

I've heard different things from different people, so I thought I'd throw it out there for the members to get their opinions. My '66 Honda CB77 SuperHawk 305 has a centrifugal oil filter, and the owner's manual (circa 1966) recommends using 30w non-detergent oil. Now, oils have certainly...

Has anyone tried an LED taillight bulb in place of a standard incandescent bulb? I was reading the December issue of Classic Bike, and editor Hugo Wilson installed one in his '54 Thunderbird. He said that they are brighter and draw less current than standard bulbs, and wondering if anyone else...

I found your site while wandering around looking for more cafe/ton-up sites, and nice to see a Canadian contribution. I'm originally from Don Mills, Ontario and was raised with Race Line Cycle (Rick Sutcliffe) in Scarborough and later Ontario Honda on Queen Street East (I still use an original...

Here are a few shots of the latest incarnation of my 1966 Honda CB77 SuperHawk. The bike started out as a basically stock bike that had been little used for the past 30 years. The engine and transmission were rebuilt about 4000 miles ago, new valves, etc, port 'n' polish the head, painted...
