    MY Honda 76 K3 XL350

    I found this video of an XL350 on you tube. I used to have one almost exactly the same except mine had the lower "rally" front guard. I never thought I'd get the chance to see and here one again! Mine met with a sorry end but suffice it to say It was my first real adventure bike! Maybe some of you would like to share some videos of your first steads.

    I know of three of them in a lockup. They are keeping company with a couple of other classic trailies from that era. Never really fancied them myself, but they are a nice piece of kit.
    The best way to forget all your troubles is to wear tight underpants.

    Classic! I had a mate who's old man bought him one of those "brand spanker"; it had the rainbow stipes on the tank from memory...I remember being jealous at the time but I'm over it now of course

    I know someone in Wellington who restores old Honda trailies, SHE has over a dozen of them in mint condition and floor to ceiling stacks of frames, motors etc.

    traded that on a 82 DR500.
    Tried to re-live it all a couple years ago with the purchase of another DR500 ..... guess some things are just better of as memories

    Snap - 1976 XL350. I got it with only about 4000km (miles?) on it. Probably be a bit gutless if I rode it now but I thought it was awesome. I had it for quite a while and used it for just about everything you can use a motorcycle for. Good times
