Hondoo Ratwing

I have a Ratwing that I wanna' share with the world! The pictures show my '81 Hondoo Ratwing. Had the old girl for eight years now. Bought her with 10,000 miles on the clock and she now sports nearly 120,000 miles. In the process, she's lost her virginity (been run over by a pickup truck, and broadsided by one of them big ass sport utility vehicles last year). She's gone from a respectable member of the Goldwing community to being an outcast that's sneered at and made fun of by Goldwing purists (Nazis!). She now sports a set of bull horns, '65 Ford Mustang back up lights (for turn signals), a police siren (to keep future assholes in big trucks from running her over), spotlights off of God knows what, and truck lights in the rear where the fender should be (It rusted off so I bob tailed the fender last rear...with a hack saw!).

Been stuck IN the Mississippi river after I rode her out onto a sandbar and promptly got her stuck up to the pipes, been through TWO floods, and been back and across the United States! Even iron butted 2200 miles to and from Sturgis, SD in three days! Hey, I wanted a t-shirt, Okay? All of the above mentioned things have really happened to the old girl, and ya' know what? I've only had to replace the starter! Heck, the carbs have never been apart! She now marks her spot like a Harley, but she still gets me to where I have to go! Take a look at the old girl and see if she's rat bike material! Oh, by the way..... Freakin' OUTSTANDING website y'all have! Gotta' LOVE them ratbikes!

Keep up the good work! Ride fast, ride hard, take chances!
