This 1987 Honda CH250 motor scooter offers economical transportation in a beautiful, convenient, easy-to-ride, low mileage vehicle. In the nearly 13,000 actual miles on the odometer, this scooter has averaged over 60 miles per gallon. The powerful 250 cc engine provides plenty of acceleration for riding in traffic. Operating the CH250 is extremely easy because of the automatic transmission that works without a clutch control. Give it the gas and it goes. Let up on the gas and it slows. Stop with the hand brake control and/or foot brake pedal. The scooter is a beautiful red. It polishes to a rich luster with shiny chrome, although the years have yielded some marring of the finish, chrome and trim (see photos). At night, the scooter is well lighted and visible.
The long padded seat can be raised for access to the fuel tank and two helmet hangers and is locked with the ignition key. The seat is shaped to accommodate a passenger who is also provided with fold-down foot rests and a padded backrest mounted on the trunk. The trunk is mounted on the chrome rear rack. Its main body opens with a latching lock. A second trunk entry is provided by a locked lid that uses the same trunk key. A vertical compartment is provided on the steering column for maps and tools and is locked using the ignition key. The 12 volt battery is accessible from the center of the floor and a trickle charger connection has been added. The trickle charger is included with the scooter although it is not mounted on the scooter.
The windshield fairing is clear and provides wind protection for the operator’s hands. The lighted instrument package contains the speedometer, odometer, trip odometer, fuel gauge, temperature gauge, oil change indicator, clock and clock controls. The clock battery needs to be replaced which requires some disassembly. The right handlebar provides the throttle, hand brake, emergency engine cutoff, and starter. The left handlebar provides the turn signal, hi/lo beam, and horn. When the ignition switch is off, the horn button turns on a convenience light for the ignition switch.
For parking, a side stand and a center stand are available. The foot pedal brake and steering can be locked for protection using a lever on the steering column.

This 1994 Honda Gold Wing SE motorcycle is a beautiful, low-mileage, top-of-the-line touring bike. With less than 23,000 actual miles on the odometer, this 1500 cc, 6-cylinder, luxury machine is in excellent condition and runs great with recently cleaned carburetors. The two-tone green exterior of the motorcycle glistens and polishes to a bright luster. The chrome sparkles and the bike still draws compliments from passing motorists and pedestrians.
The standard features of the SE are impressive and include cruise control, electric reverse, adjustable air suspension, fresh and warmed air ventilation, passenger intercom, CB radio, 25-watt am/fm/tape stereo, front and rear stereo speakers, lighted trunk, luggage inner bags for the trunk and side saddles, and more. The original tool kit and owners manual are secured in the left side saddle.
Added enhancements include floorboard shifter and brake, passenger communication control module, rear seat arm rests, smoke colored wind wings, cornering lights option switch, trunk side light strips, extra marker lights (fairing, trunk and tail), trunk rack and lower spoiler, lighted trunk mirror, freeway footrests, custom exhaust deflectors, battery trickle charger and a full rain cover.
Additional standard features of the 1994 SE include on-board air compressor for rear suspension and outlet, handlebar controls for stereo and CB, self-cancelling turn signals, direct driveshaft, headlight beam adjustment, folding antennas, seat cover for parking built into the rear seat backrest, windshield height quick-adjust, adjustable passenger floorboards, carpeted trunk and side saddles, and two helmet locks under the trunk.
While the Lexan windshield is clear, a non-obstructive crack extends downward from each side of the windshield ventilator. Two paint scrapes, one on each saddlebag, are the most significant mars on the finish. A small screw cover on the right side is missing. Also missing is a small trim strip on each side of the faring hidden by the wind wings. The grill behind the front wheel is cracked.
Three color matched Arai helmets with headsets come with the motorcycle, an XXL, a medium and a small. The XXL helmet needs a new pad in the top. The microphone attachment is broken on the medium and small helmets.

When we woke up today it was pouring outside. It was pretty crazy and no one else was around the hotel :-/ kinda scary. Anyways it rained for a little while and the lightning was fierce… but unfortunately I didn’t have the luck of being struck by lightning.
After it cleared up we went out to lunch and then we were off to visit the Glenwood Caverns. In order to get up into the caves we had to take a ski lift. When we got there the lift was down so they were buss-in people up. Lucky us, after we got our tickets, they started the lift back up so we got to ride it up. When we go there we looked around n snapped some pictures. There was a sing up there that we all wanted to go on but it was pretty lame.
Then it was time to go in the caves so we met up with a tour guide from Romania. Shes was pretty nice. She thought we were making fun of her for her accent when all we were taking about was how many pictures i could take. So she got mad at us and was like “I’ve only been working here 2 days” :-o. haha. Anyways we went through some beautiful caves with some pretty cool formations. In all the tour was about an hour long.
After we went on this frikkin scary roller coaster. It took about an hour standing in line but finally we were off. They almost looked like sleds rolling down a metal track. They had breaks so you could brake if you needed to. Of course I’m a daredevil and was totally against that. Well forget not braking. Holy Crap! It was so scary. We all went so frikkin fast hahaha. It felt like I was gonna fly off the side of the cliff.
As soon as the adventure began, it ended. After we took a drive to Aspen which was nice but I was so tired it wasn’t that appealing. We shopped a little and went n got some pretty sweet pizza. cept my plate was COVERED with grease at the end. It was a pretty sweet town with nice public bathrooms and little cricks flowing in front of the businesses. After that we were on our way back for the night.
We pretty much have stayed up all night again tonight. haha. There was nothing open when we went out about 2am. LAME. Thank God for 7-11.
Here are some pics…
