I vaguely remember the CX500 turbo, but then again, I was about 14/15 years old, so alot of bikes have come and gone (not as many in my possession as on my mind, LOL). I can imagine your dilemma with boost--the Ascot has quite a decent amount of power, and once up to 60 mph gets light on the front, so a quicker bike getting to 60 + I can imagine being a handful.
I paid $1k for the bike, so not too bad of depreciation over 25 years, although I have a feeling many $$'s were spent keeping it on the road...
Ironfist, thanks for the re-welcome--do you still have your CB?
"I was wonderin what happened to ya, Thought You might have got busted running things across the border." AZ, I haven't been caught yet, bringing cigarettes over, LOL.
Tigertamer-thanks-I think you were a new member when I "left" the site.
Hope to catch up with the rest of you through the forums, email, and even better--in person, somewhere preferably by bike.
