An aging buddy of mine, a veteran of both military and civilian follies in his life, when seen on the street and greeted, always says......
"Tis much better to be seen, than viewed!"

Hopefully that improves on one of the few disappointments I had with this ride, as it just didn't seem "right".
Carry on !

Interesting, think that could account for that? Do your forks have any charge (Air, nitrogen) to them?

Cantilever system, (or actually double A arms I suppose). Usually quite stable. Single Nitrogen Shock.

I'd say that one is an ager, Jose. (for those not in the biz that is a unit that has been in stock a while and is past the turn rate, i.e., 45, 60 90 days, etc. before being sent to auction)

No doubt that car has had its own birthday cake.

I’ll never forget working at Braman Honda Palm Beach back in 2005. Our inventory allotment was significantly increased and they expanded the lot into what had been an empty field. We parked the Pilots and Odyssey’s out there and shortly after ended up with raccoons nesting under the hoods and using the wiring harness to do it. If I’m not mistaken there were over 30 cars damaged.
