Re: Big Bertha, The bike Honda never built
Didn't expect to see Bertha on here. She was a real challenge and a lot of fun to build and like so many of my builds, I have to wonder why I sold her. But of course you (or at least I) can't keep them all. Especially when you are in the process of moving to a new area and you won't have a garage or shop for a while. Thanks for the memories.
Bikes at present:
83 XL 600r with a 2004 XR650L engine
And a slightly worse for the wear BMW GS adventure bike awaiting repair
83 GL in process
