Got out of the Marines in Aug. 1971.. Was home on a weekend leave about a month before I got out. Friend of my dad's had a local auto repair/gas station and had a beautiful 1970 Honda 750cc 4 cyl. he was selling. Don't remember what he wanted for it but he took about a hundred bucks down and a few weeks later when I got out I paid the rest of it off monthly from my regular job and by pumping gas a few nights a week at the station. It spent the winter of 1971/72 in my parents basement; put it on the road spring of 1972. Put a LOT of miles on it that year, then sold it in the fall of '72 for money to sink into a project car. Wound up kicking myself for selling it.
