Motorcycling with
my 1997 Honda Pacific Coast (PC800)
This is Elton Hammond's page dedicated to motorcycling with the very elegant, reliable
Honda PC800. I bought this motorcycle because I like it's elegant styling and
found through research on the Internet that it is highly reliable. Since buying my new 1997
PC800 in March 1998 from JAF Motors in New York State I have found it be
exceptionally trouble free, comfortable, safe and lots of fun for my needs.
It also has all the power I need for the usual thrills. (Outruns almost
any car!!) Your comments and feedback will be much appreciated, so send me an
e-mail.

* For Failure to kill at least 3

This idea was borrowed from a Seneca Falls, NY friend, the
ever clever Mr. Tim Davies of the PC800 chat group. Tim's card was really
great and I have tried very hard to top it! I probably have not, except in
my own mind! I carry these now in my Neill
Thompson glove box and it helps recruit potential new
"members" to our Ottawa PC800 "Club" The back side of
the card has all of our "tongue in cheek rules" on becoming an Ottawa,
Canada PC800 Club member, as well as how to join the PC800 chat group. As
I know everyone who owns a PC800, including myself, is always being asked by
curious passers by, what kind of bike it is, this gives me something to hand
out, if I choose, particularly to those we would like to "hang out"
with us. If you want to print your own high quality version of my card,
just download the PDF file below and print on a good color printer.
