Those 2-strokes are a high maintenance item.

When you stop laughing I'll mention it's a 1965 Honda 305 Dream, very similar to this:
Am I nuts?

I wouldn't say its High maintenance, but a maintenance where you have to be on top of it all the time. Or the bottom end goes out on them.

Going over Paulas Spyder, then hopefully put some miles on the bikes. Going to be a beautiful long weekend, so want to take advantage of it.

Tempting Mick, I think it could be bought at a reasonable price.
From your experience is the ride on these any different than that of a current mid size to small motorcycle? Or do they have a unique personality all their own?
I need to take one out before any purchase decision might be made.

2 strokes is all a fella needs....1 in, 1 out...but the thought of her bottom falling out is quite disturbing
