1983 HONDA
MAGNA V45
The bike in the middle of the top picture is
my Magna though hard to see it was maroon in color. All the chrome
and engine detail was almost flawless. It had a mustang seat.
It had 36,000 miles on it when this photo was taken and supposedly
the engine had been rebuilt only 3,000 miles before I got it.
Someone before me took great care of it having it repainted and
the engine rebuilt. It ran great, plenty quick when compared to
the other bikes I had before it. Yet on July 4th 1998 when coming
back from the Iowa freedom rally the engine began to knock, not
from abuse (I never beat on any of my machines) likely from a
bad rebuild. But while it was mine it was a good bike and never
let me down . But all things must come to an end and so I took
it to the local Honda dealer and traded it in on my Shadow A.C.E.
I didn't do to bad, I got more in trade then what I paid for it
a year earlier.
Has anyone seen my keys?
This bottom picture is from our way back from the
rally when we stopped to eat in Carroll, Iowa.
