Wタナベ氏と栗一郎が戻って来たので、とりあえず皆で山へ。
栗一郎の白バイを見ながら雑談。
友人から預かっている（のに乗り回している）ホンダの宗ちゃん号を見ながらうっとり。
it was quite a ride!
ひゃー気持ち良かった！
looking and talking about the fireball.
ファイヤーボールを見ながらあーだこーだ。
chatting...
雑談中・・・
and chatting.
もう話は尽きない。
definitely chatting about the motorcycle :) unlike them i know only a little about motorcycle but i kinda like to watch them chatting about it so passionate. despite that, i don't feel isolated maybe because i share the same "joy of gliding" with them.
これもどう見てもオートバイの話で盛り上がり中。私は皆みたいにオートバイのことに詳しくないから聞いているだけだけど、彼らがやけに楽しそうに話しているのを見るのは好き。それに、山の上からここまで滑走して降りてくる間の、あのすべてを忘れて飛んでいる感じを皆と共有しているから、話が分からなくても不思議と疎外感がない。乗り物やスピードは男性の楽しみであって女性には分からないとよく揶揄されるけど、性別が理由じゃないような気がする。

1971 CL450K4
CL450 K4 (1971)
The sister bike to the Honda CB450, the CL450 is the dual sport or "scrambler" model of Honda's 444cc DOHC parallel twin engined motorcycle. Although the difference between both models are mostly cosmetic, the CL450's higher pipes, braced handlebars, and aggressive styling were better suited for off-road riding.
Initially available in kit form for the 1967 CB450, it was officially released in 1968 as the CL450K1 "Scrambler" in silver, candy red and candy blue colors (only the tank and air filter covers were painted). This year also saw the addition of a 5-speed gearbox, an upgrade from the older 4-speed.
The CL450 remained much the same through 1974, though diverged further from its sister bike as time went on. While the CB450 went to a front disc brake in 1970, Honda decided to keep the CL450 with its two drum brakes. Disc brakes were fairly new technology on motorcycles, and unproven in off-road riding. The CB450 was replaced in 1975 when Honda increased the displacement of the engine and renamed it the CB500.
The bike remains popular today among enthusiasts, and many are still in use in flat track racing or have been modified into cafe racers.
Honda's horsepower rating was 43 hp@9650 RPM off the crank, nearly 100 hp per liter. Top speed could be seen as high as 96 MPH in stock trim with a well tuned carburetor. If highway speeds are more desirable, the CB450's gearing can be used to offer more relaxed cruising at higher velocities. Vibration was a complaint, so Honda added rubber mounted handle bars to overcome this to a degree. The CL450 wasn't nearly as mass produced as the smaller 350-360cc versions.
