Just because it seemed to make sense in 1978 doesn't mean I'd buy one
now.

I'll be able to look back in 30 years time (1) and remember why I
decided to buy a 10R but I certainly can't see why I lashed out my
money on a fucking CX500 even though it was black.

(1) I'll probably be dead but ykwim.

Dear Uncle UKRM,

My middle name's Ashley [really] and I'd quite like a CX500. Is there any
hope for my wife and family?

Si

 

I bought a CX500 Eurosport

after realizing it was faster than the GS550 I had at the time.

But mine had flat bars.

I did 3 camchain tensioners on the ES at 12.5k a time. Mr Honda payed for
three but wouldn't pay for any more so it went. Renowned Honda
reliability.

 

You were gay in 1978?

 

Nope.

That's more like it.

 

Weren't we all.

Nope. I am now, mind.
