The 25 HP Backus is unloaded.
I discovered that I've 2 different battery problems,
& 2 different hydraulic jack problems. If failure
is a field of endeavor, then I'm a brilliant success!

I won $20 in the lottery, and I only spent $5 on the ticket! The lesson is, lottery ticket investments pay at 400%!

The lottery is a tax on people who don't understand math...

It's an ongoing problem.
I hadn't intended to buy any more, but the October engine show presented

Nope...just means bears wives like Hondas.... I wanted

On a related note....way back in 1981 I was a Honda mechanic and this was our shop car...that I actually got to drive from time to time.

and yes its performance is as unimpressive as it looks

And the beastly power under the hood of the Honda 600....2 whole cylinders of raw power
