Title: Honda CX & GL motorcycles. Who has one??
Post by Scorpius on Jul 15^th, 2007, 9:32pm

Hi guys.
I have had a Honda CX500 motorcycle for some years now and was just contacted by Pat who, it seems, also has one.
Our question now is: Who else on the Scorpio forum has a Honda CX400/500/650 or GL400/500/650/700 motorcycle too?
If you are interested in a CX/GL club, i run one here: http://groups.msn.com/CXClubUK

All are welcome.

Ian

Back in the days when I was a biker I had a Honda 50, I loved that bike but it rotted away in the end.... }{ that was in 1973, it was an F Reg circa 1969???

Before that I had a 98cc Excelsior...

Those were the days.

I am in the process of building a CX500 trike too, for my missus.

Hi Ian, they make great trikes, the only problem i had was when it slid on ice once. Ihit a lamp post and due to the clutch sticking out of the front, it took most of the force and was pushed through the engine and out the back, a recon engine later and new forks and it was good as new, not the same for the lamp post tho ha ha

had a gl650 silver wing many moons ago when i was despatching. very comfortable bike and much underated. have allways had a bike started out on a bsa bantam. and as off last week had a full power v-max. had to sell it b4 it killed me. will be getting something a little more sedate in the near future. might even build a lowrider or chop.

Looks like it's just thee and me, Ian, that still combines Scorp and CX ownership. Quite a coincidence that we're also part of what seems to be a very small Notts contingent. 8)

PS. Here's another one-my family name was also Ian.(Cos my middle name's Damian-don't ask...)
