Another honorary member here, along with Aussie Bech and his CB250K0. Keep up the posting, please!

So that's where those eBay Thai 'Dream' tank emblems belong then!

Looking at your ME, it reminds me of a Puch 175 split single that, as a disqualified 17-year-old, I had in my garden for a year or so -- 'till my old man went bloody garrity one weekend and I had to dispose of it fast (like, that day!)

i think most of the early honda's are copy's of other bikes, but i still like this early stuff, just got the speedo out today to send off for repair, you cant see from the front, it has 6 bulbs in the back of it.

Jeepers! That's a busy instrument!

Here's a pic I found to give you some encouragement; it's apparently a 1953 ME.

Hey allan , i think your right about looking like other bikes , at first glance it looks alarming similar to a NSU max special circa 1955.... i have looked high andlow for a jc 58-59 ... but now have decided to stick with the dream and/or superhawk just for parts availability ... and the fact that this will be my first bike restore.. if all goes well it do a jc next... mr honda willing...... just another devote believer who prays at the alter of internal combustion...lolol... nick
