That shot of a New Hudson (I had never heard of it) is impressive. Probably from the thirties, I'd guess. Dayrell, do you know specifics about the bike, engine size, etc.?

Thanks Mark -- I've had it for 10 years, and it has gone through numerous changes since I bought it. It was a 305 4-speed, but now it's a 358 5-speed. And if you look closely, you can spot some British bike parts on it.

That was taken yesterday on a quick 143-mile ride -- great weather, great roads, and of course great donuts.

Yeah, a few changes; I saw your list above.

I never saw many of these and can't swear I ever saw the downpipe version in the flesh (steel). I knew two of the scrambler version way back when.

I still think this was the peak of Honda (maybe all Japanese bike) style. I remember that even when I wanted a so called "350" that I thought the Super Hawk looked a lot nicer. There was a pretty 450 early on with a candy apple orangish red tank that looked nice. I think that might only have been the scrambler version, and maybe inspired by a similar color BSA 650 "scramber" I remember seeing once. I don't know the model.

I guess I had better hunt down some pictures to justify all the talk. I know I have a nice color print somewhere of my old Triumph Daytona and BSA 441. Maybe even a really old snap of my high school buddy's 300 Dream - those were some wild dream.

Went on a nice 200 mile ride today with my friends Andrew (middle) and Lee (right). Hit some of the best roads in the western part of Maryland near the Civil War battlefields and beyond.
