    i doubt anyone would tag along, 1500kms + leaving the country, it's hard enough to get people off their arses to come to a meet or even try & arrange one elsewhere nearer to those who are too far away

    It's comical to think that these guy's need a whopping amount of horses to get the same amount of pleasure as we do with 65.....if your lucky.

    I just had a chance to drive my old Alfa Guilia Spider 1600 (half again the weight and half again the horsepower as the Beat)that I sold a few months ago. I had not driven it in a long time because we were in different hemispheres, but I was amazed how sluggish it felt compared to the Beat.


    Past Hondas:
    1960 125cc Honda Benly CB92R
    1964 305cc Super Hawk CB77, the only vehicle I have ever bought new in my life!
    Honda CB160, roadraced as 175cc 1967-1970.
    Honda Lawnmower, bought used in 2003, caught fire and melted in 2005.
