I remember when I was maybe 10 years old in the mid-1960s that those little Honda 50s suddenly were everywhere.
On those Dakotas - I always liked the original late-'80s Dakota, but I get the impression they didn't sell all that well. Or maybe Chrysler discovered they cost about the same to build as a full-size but people wanted them to be cheaper, so they didn't make very much on them. That convertible in Windsor, ON that @driver100 found is nice, just across the river from Detroit for you Yanks. Sounds like a real deal compared to the first one.
Just finished my motorcycle's maiden voyage after restoration. Runs great!
1966 Triumph TR6 Tiger 650cc. All original and correct except sharp eyes will notice that it's a Bonneville gas tank.
That's a nice looking bike! From a time when a Triumph was really a Triumph!
Then the Japanese motorcycles arrived and changed everything!
Be careful....we need you here!
The new Triumphs aren't bad either!
I like the new ones--certainly less fussy--but I remember a quote from Jay Leno about why he preferred certain motorcycles over others, and it stuck with me. He said:
I like a motorcycle I can see through.
Maybe that's the same as some of us who like engines you can actually see, rather than them being buried under engine covers.
Does anyone remember the Honda 305 Scramblers that came out around 1967? They were a nice little bike with plenty of pep and a great sound for not a whole lot of money as I recall.
Yes, absolutely. This was the era (1964-1968) when I bought and rode three different Honda motorcycles, a 150 cc CA95, a 160 cc CB160 and a CB350. I traded the 350 in for my '65 MGB, and my automobile driving career began.
That said, the 250 and 305 bikes came in either the "dream" cruiser style or the "scrambler" version.
Good times.
There was a Popular Science (could have been Mechanics) article on Honda motorcycles back then which had a quote that I remember to this day: "It's not a copy of anything, and it's built like a watch."
Honda is an engine company, and I'm still enjoying their products.

Fact is, I am not crazy about motorcycles. When I was growing up my friend had a 55cc Honda, and I am lucky to be alive today. I like to have some metal around me....the more the better. Remember the rear ender....I want crumple zones...with a motorcycle I am the crumple zone.
I like the really modern designs though if I had to choose....with built in head and tail lights, and I like something where they took the idea of a motorcycle to new design limits. Kind of like this;
How about this one on Kijiji........CL of Canada. 50000 kms which is 30K miles. $9500 Cdn or about $7000 USD Dodge Dakota Convertible. Excellent condition. New tires and rims. All options with air conditioning.
Letters and numbers - everyone wants to be German, they just won't admit it
Centurion is another goodie. Caddy names were also good, the DeVilles, Fleetwood, etc, they were classy at a time when Caddy was still the high class brand.
Yeah, Centurion is a great one.
Agreed. Also always liked Starfire and Invicta for old car names.
After 32+ years my string trimmer broke. The pull cord snapped. Told my wife I need to bring it to the local hardware store that does small equipment repair. She reminded me they are closing this month(not sure how they stayed in business this long). Decided to look on youtube for a repair video. Found one, and I was able to fix it by just by cutting a bit of the existing cord and tying a new knot on the end. It did take me a while to take it apart and reassemble, but it works again. It's out of warranty, so small victory.

Speaking of Hondas, I drooled over these back in the day, and I still do. Valuable now, too:
For moderns that I could actually ride, I like this BMW:
And this Ducati:
These are both pricey, and I have other things fighting for my wallet, not to mention the sketchy riding conditions around here, I doubt I will go for it anytime soon, as the road situation here only gets worse.

Electric bikes are also interesting.
I like the looks of the top one....they have taken something kind of ugly and really made it look sleek. The only thing is the rear wheel is much larger and the seat is on a slope, pointing down. It would be better if I could sit level.....maybe it has a 12 position power seat though.

That's what gets to me. Highways don't scare me too much (unless on a ~250 that can barely go 60), the city streets here are Russian roulette. So many texters and yappers, people eating, lost tourists, drivers new to the western world, and worse.
Speaking of bikes, here's a good pic I found recently, my dad with his Honda CB450, one of the first sold in this region, I think 1965. These were considered to be quite a bike:
Thanks for your concern. Fortunately I have a lot of experience on motorcycles so can eliminate SOME of the risks. These old bikes aren't for modern freeways anyway, and I don't intend to use it that way.
If you wonder what happened to his shirt, look in Drivers closet.
A fine figure of a man Fin. I hope you took after him. Also, is that a cat or a possum on that picnic table?
< 100 years ago you just had to remember to get up, go out and plow a field - then come home at 6 for dinner and go to bed at 10.
Actually you didn't have to remember to come home for dinner because at noon your stay-at-home wife range the dinner bell and called you to come in from the field for dinner. Then you went back out and worked until 6 pm at which time the sun lower in the sky sent you to your home for supper, at around 6 pm. That's if you didn't have to milk the cows. The cows made their way to the barn for milking based on the time from the buildup of milk in their udders, not on the sun or the dinner bell.
Thanks for explaining how it was even easier to live 100 years ago...I was born at the wrong time. If I could have had my Mercedes W213 back then I would have had a great time.
I think that if most of us were transported back to those simple days we would go stark raving mad in no time.

Yes, that sounds right. I assumed it was a custom mod but Chryser actually factory made them for 3 years. The source I read said something like 2500 sold in 89' 1000 in 90' and 7 in 91'. A dismal failure. A 91' is rare enough to maybe be collectable.

There was a great cop show on NBC a few years ago that was intriguing. Somehow a modern day (2010+) NYPD detective was transported back through time and landed back in the early to mid 1970s. They were looking at ballistic evidence and one of the other cops said something to the effect of: "we'll know more when we hear back from the lab in 3 weeks." The modern day cop said: "3 Weeks?" Then the other guy said: "Yeah, we put a rush on it. Things move pretty quickly in today's day & age (The 70s)." The premise of the show is that he had to do all the police work without computers...

Not sure about one of those. They have completely disappeared from the roads up here which is odd as they weren't notorious rusters, so they must have some expensive mechanical flaw.
Not bad, drive it until the tranny blows up or an unknown electrical gremlin renders the car useless (only matter of when with these). Then sell it for parts.
I always liked those, decent power for the time too.

Clean and Clear Florida Tiltel in Hand, clean CarFax, Price is Firm, Fair Cheap and Final, it's exactly what the car cost me. Contact Oz show contact info Thanks.
He says the odometer reads 69000 miles but doesn't say that it is true mileage. He says he just replaced tires. I had a rental like that and I like the way those cars handled....kind of hugged the road. I do think once they start to go they really go, especially transmissions and electrical. If buying something from that era, it is better to get a hardy specimen, but, not a bad deal for the price, especially if Oz is on the level.
Not sure about one of those. They have completely disappeared from the roads up here which is odd as they weren't notorious rusters, so they must have some expensive mechanical flaw.
I was more interested in the text of that ad. Could there really be a used car tooth fairy who fixes up cars just for fun then sells them at cost?
As to the actual car, the base model Concorde came with the 2.7 sludger which may explain why some of them didn't last. I had a 2000 with that motor and had no problems. My son wrecked it at 71k miles so maybe I got lucky.
The one in the ad had a 3.2L.

it is a cafe racer bike. You are supposed to be laying flat on the tank. Looks really uncomfortable to me.
fintail It's 80s flash. The rear height is exaggerated by the stand and stripes. Definitely not made to be comfortable, it's a roadable racing machine.
It's not a cruiser - I have never been able to feel right on one, they sit too low and are too heavy.
Thanks for explaining stick and fin. I had no idea you would lie on the tank while driving, sounds brutal. It reminds me of racing bikes...if I had a bicycle I would just want the old classic style, not a 10 or 20 speed where you have to be hunched over all the time. like this;

The show was called "Life on Mars", and it was a remake of a BBC show of the same name.
I watched a few episodes of both the BBC and the NBC version - if you watch it, you have to watch it to the last episode. That's all I'll say....
I wish I was so lucky in that regard, he was in better shape at 55 than most guys at 30 - he was blessed with an excellent metabolism, as he wasn't a health nut. He passed away unexpectedly around 10 years ago, when he was ~70, had a bad aneurysm. I assume that's a cat, I don't recall anyone in the family having pet possums - people aren't that "country" in these parts
Speaking of bikes, when he met my mom, the bikes went away for good. Not a subject she enjoys - since I got my endorsement years ago, I have never mentioned them to her, it never ends well.
Yeah, on many sportier bikes, the tank is quite intrusive on the seating position, and it becomes a part of the ergonomics. I prefer to be more upright too, I am not getting any younger, and my back would take weeks to recover. But for something like that 80s Honda, it will be a garage queen anyway, I would wager a massive amount of money none of that model will be seen on the street, or likely even the track.
I don't like low clip-on handlebars. On a motorcycle, for me anyway, it makes sharp turns awkward, and it doesn't get better on a bicycle (haven't been on one in several years).

Mountain and hybrid bikes have an upright position. If you want to go fast you need to be low. If you want to enjoy the view, get a hybrid. You don't have to give up gears to do it.

I've been toying with the idea of a battery assist bike. You could ride until you were pooped and the use the battery to cruise home. Anyone here have one?

I used to have one, and my nephew just bought some fancy new one that was pretty $$$$.
I liked mine but it was rather heavy to pedal around without battery assist. You become pretty battery-dependent regardless of one's noble intentions. It really does make you feel like Superman. I'd recommend trying one out.
I really enjoyed "Life on Mars," and yes, do watch from beginning to end. My brother's family is quite friendly with the star of the show's family, their sons go to school together. Good looking couple Jason and Paige, she went to my University just a few years behind me. She said she was a cheap date, happy just to go cow tipping (unlike the cows, of course). Sigh, what might have been...
I had a '99 Chrysler 300M, it was a reliable and enjoyable sedan. Although not great build quality, nothing fell off or rattled. ~70k relatively trouble free, stylish miles. Of course, with chrome wheels, I had issues with rust and separation from tires, so I had to keep an air pump handy. Something wasn't quite right about the front end suspension when I traded it for my '05 TL, and I didn't want to keep a Chrysler past 70k miles, you just know the tranny was going to give it up soon thereafter!

Just as long as it was 90% electric and 10% leg power.
Up here I see more and more homebuilt bike conversions where a chainsaw or leaf-blower gas engine is somehow adapted to drive the rear wheel. They seem to go quite fast but also strike me as rather dangerous.

I'll have to check that out sometime!
That was also the premiss of Men in Black 3 and one of those X Men movies.

It's 80s flash. The rear height is exaggerated by the stand and stripes. Definitely not made to be comfortable, it's a roadable racing machine.
It's not a cruiser - I have never been able to feel right on one, they sit too low and are too heavy.
Thanks for explaining stick and fin. I had no idea you would lie on the tank while driving, sounds brutal. It reminds me of racing bikes...if I had a bicycle I would just want the old classic style, not a 10 or 20 speed where you have to be hunched over all the time.

That was also the premiss of Men in Black 3 and one of those X Men movies.
The show was called "Life on Mars", and it was a remake of a BBC show of the same name.
I watched a few episodes of both the BBC and the NBC version - if you watch it, you have to watch it to the last episode. That's all I'll say....

I remember in 1999, a friend's dad got a Chrysler 300 as a company car, it was pretty nice.
Speaking of bikes, when he met my mom, the bikes went away for good. Not a subject she enjoys - since I got my endorsement years ago, I have never mentioned them to her, it never ends well.
I don't like low clip-on handlebars. On a motorcycle, for me anyway, it makes sharp turns awkward, and it doesn't get better on a bicycle (haven't been on one in several years).

When I was a kid, this was the dream bike for me:
I had a similar looking bike, but a less expensive model, which was just as well as I was really rough on bikes.
I liked mine but it was rather heavy to pedal around without battery assist. You become pretty battery-dependent regardless of one's noble intentions. It really does make you feel like Superman. I'd recommend trying one out.
I had a '99 Chrysler 300M, it was a reliable and enjoyable sedan. Although not great build quality, nothing fell off or rattled. ~70k relatively trouble free, stylish miles. Of course, with chrome wheels, I had issues with rust and separation from tires, so I had to keep an air pump handy. Something wasn't quite right about the front end suspension when I traded it for my '05 TL, and I didn't want to keep a Chrysler past 70k miles, you just know the tranny was going to give it up soon thereafter!
