I was four years old in '69.  I remember watching the Moon landing, on TV, live, but I don't remember anything about motorcycles from that year.  

I entered High School in '79, the year my K was made.  My father was into biking since the early 70's.  For me, the early 80's were a golden age of motorcycling.  I love the teardrop designs from that period.  My K is a classic example of the style that I really like.  I am still amazed by that piece of old technology.  My wife and I rode it, two up, just us, no one else, around Lake Superior, in 2009.  It ran flawlessly the entire 1,935 mile trip!  Honda made one phenomenal motorcycle that year.  I will always remember my K, no matter the years, or what happens to it.  It is a motorcycling icon, and it earned its reputation.

Never laid eyes on a K0, but...  I would love to!  To ride one would be a dream come true.  Some dreams, however, will always be just that.  Cheers!
