On the highway a lot of people see me in their rearview mirror  start slowing down and then go to the slow lane. Must have something to do that I wear a yellow helmet ( like the police )  a yellow jacket ( like the police ) and  drive a white motorcycle with orange/red markings ( ............like the police ) and that a lot of people have bad eyesight ................ a least they see me coming that's for a motorist a big plus  Honda CBX1000 A ( exploded in my garage ) Honda CX500 Turbo ( summer fun ) Honda CB450S ( cheap - winter fun ) Golden boomerang wheels rock ............    Report
