Deep thinking.

TOOLS1
Administrator
I was just sitting here in my recliner, solving all the worlds problems (too bad no one ever listens to me.)
Any way I started to think about the bike trip I am wanting to take to Central, and South America. I had been planning on purchasing a Kawasaki KLR 650, for the trip. However now I am thinking it would be really cool to make the trip on one of my Honda CB 750 A Hondamatics. What do you guys think? And any suggestions about how to set it up?

I like vintage bikes because they take me away from the clutter of technology that I work with everyday and back to a simpler time of mechanical elegance and simplicity.. "ninadm"

take a CB750 nonamatic and fins yourself in Antarctica in need of an oil change and little else.

Hell, if the bike is running well, thats all you need. I would pack some minor tools. If running points yet, at least a spare point and condenser. A spare tube for the rear as the front usually kicks it up while the back picks it up. A pair of tire spoons if you can fit them somewhere. Couple of oil filters. Oil might not be quite as good in some countries. After that, if everything is in good shape, you should be fine.
The ride IS the adventure. The destination is just to get gas!
