Dig those hard tails with suspension seat. I'll bet that boxer in a chassis like that wallows thru a corner like a turd. Honda tank, built '55?
What a character. The guy was full of art but from what I read, full of trouble too.
Edit: I see it was built in 1966. That makes sense regarding the tank.
