Me on my Honda XL 250 "Thumper" #70E, at my first Enduro. String Prairie TX, March 1978. One word describes my bike, HEAVY!
 
250 Honda Six

Back around 1977-8 I was a spectator at Mossport Raceway in Ontario Canada and they brought out the Honda 250 six cylinder for a vintage race.

To hear this bike warming up in the pitts and running at speed around the track was a sound I will never forget!

Nice Classic!...back in 69 I wanted a honda mini trail so bad I couldn't sleep.
Dad wouldn't let me buy one, eventually I got a Cat mini bike, it wasn't a honda, but it was alot of fun...

I hear you. I had a lot of fun on it but was hard to keep running.

A few pics of my lovely wife scanned from slides of our 8,600 mile tour out west back in 1979. It's hard to believe that has been well over thirty years ago.

When I got back home I was so sore that I knew I had to get a larger bike. :)
