To all,
I submitted a post about a month ago about this small motorcycle club
called the 555. They were riding from Knoxville, TN. to Portland OR. on
machines that are pre-1975, less than 500cc, and cost less than $500.00. I
think @ 11 of them left last Friday morning. I went down to wish them well
and all the bikes but one were either leaking gas, oil, or both. They were
all running though. They were all 350 or 450 Hondas.
They have foam mats to sleep on, some extra tools, and a few clothes. So
far, they have almost made it to the Mississippi River is 2 days. Thats
about 450 miles so far. They have already had electrical trouble and
transmission trouble, but I think they have overcome it.
If anyone is interested, they are updating their progress on their website
http://www.thefivefivefive.com
I still wish I could have went with them. The funny thing is, is that I
just got 2 Honda 350's yesterday in about the condition of the ones they
are riding. A 1970 CL 350 and a 1971 CB 350."
