I'm so happy and excited!

I got a new to me bike today, and I am so excited. I've been looking for one of these for the past few years, and finally found and bought a really good looking one today.

 

It's a 1988 Honda NX250, a great little dual purpose ride. I got it from the second owner with all the original paperwork, 2 original keys, Owner's Manual and Service Manual and even a few extra parts. And it seems to be in great shape. I only rode it about 20 miles today, and it was just plain fun.

 

One reason I'm so excited is I actually had 2 of these same bikes back in 1988. I won them on the "Price Is Right" in '88. I kept both of them for quite awhile, and then sold one and kept the other another couple years or so. Thinking back, I don't know why I sold it. More recently I've been looking for a good one for about 4 years now. This one came up on Craig's List a couple days ago, I finally had a chance to go see it earlier today, and now it's mine.....

 

....and my son's. He's 17 and this will be a great bike for him to start off on. I love my RSV and it's a daily rider for me, but I think I will be doing more puttin around town stuff on the little Honda. Now let's see about sharing some photos.

I got also 2 different bikes...my Midnight Venture is for when I go away for the day...and My Honda RC51 ( Built for the Race Track ) is for, when me and my Buddies go speeding on the Back roads.

Something like that NX250 would be a nice one to have around. It looks good. Congrats on finally finding it.

Way to go....but there is still a lot of empty space in your garage. Time to start looking for a third...........
