Tell Me About Your Ride
The CB175 soon proved to be inadequate for our needs, so Mike and I rode two-up to Boston Cycles (no longer there) and traded it in for a Honda CB350. We did everything with that bike, including camping out in the Berkshires. We loaded our tent, sleeping bags, all our camping gear, and both of us and camped under the stars in some nameless forest. We saw Richie Havens in an outdoor concert (it rained, but then the sun came out with a magnificent rainbow, just as Havens was singing "Here Comes The Sun", and on the way back to our campsite, we were knocked over by some guy with New Jersey Plates. Since he didn't stick around to exchange papers, and since we were in the middle of nowhere with no cell phone, we just righted the bike, got back on, and rode home. Perhaps all the camping gear piled onto the bike cushioned our fall? Who Knows.
