1982 Honda 900f

This bike was in top shape with only 7k miles when I purchased it. Now, 4,000 miles and 12 months later, it's taking a beating. Gone is the factory luster, the rare and pristine original parts, and the stiff unused seat.

I feel bad that I haven't kept up on the bikes appearance, especially for a respected piece of iron in it's day. On the other hand I feel good to ride it, like an old warhorse that isn't afraid of rushing into battle when the newest breed is still having their mane brushed in the barn.
