I used to dream of owning a black version of this bike,having spent most of my visit to the Earls Court Motorcycle Show of 1977,on the Honda stand.There, I met Phil Read,motorcycle racer, extraordinaire.Or,rather I didn't.He really looked like Phil Reed,but he insisted he was Phil's brother and that he was always being mistaken for him.So,rather disconsolate I drifted off home.(Of course, it really was Phil,he just didn't want to sign an autograph.)
