Thank you for buying the Honda Chrono-Travel bike. I have not had too many inquiries into this model as people have concerns about skeletal distortion as they're forced backwards in time. Here are my particulars:

Thurrston Howwell, III
10001 Giliggins Isl.
Wixom, South Michigan 42004
USA
880-651-5432

As soon as I receive the money order for $21,000, I will prepare the bike for shipping. Its argon-barium power pack can become unstable during shipping so I will need to stabilize it with new age crystals for 24 hours before it can be safely shipped with the bike. 
 

Hello thurrston,

Good day to you and your family , how are you today , hope fine? thanks for the mail , the price is okay by me, i will now instruct my client who is owing the sum of $15,000 and his ready to pay it out in INTERNATIONAL POSTAL MONEY ORDER to issue it to you and while you recieve the MONEY ORDER of $30,000 you then deduct your own $21,000 and also help me arrange for the shipping to the netherlands with the amount of $1,500 in the total of my remaining funds and the rest balance {$7500} will be sent to my agent who will be going to the netherlands to inspect the car to see if it is in good condition since i am currently out of the netherlands at the moment so if you are okay with this procedure.

 


Hello Mr. Martins,

I am totally ok with this procedure. As they say in my sometimes brutish (but always colorful) country, "It totally spins my dick."

Will you be mailing the check to me? What is your agent's information so I can properly send him the $7,500?

Your agent may be a little surprised to see that the Honda Chrono-Travel is a motorbike and not a car. But let me reassure you that although it is short on two wheels to be properly categorized as a car, you will find that its ability to slice through temporal space in a reverse manner so superior that you will not care one whit that there is no electronically controlled lumbar support nor cup holders. With the Honda Chrono-Travel bike, your ability to meet dignitaries from the past is just a starter button away. I myself have dined with Mary and Abe Lincoln; velcro had not yet been invented and I wowed them with both its grippiness as well as its noisiness. They wanted to come with me back to the future, but since the bike is not a biposto, let alone triposto, I had to leave them behind. Too bad, as I think Mary would benefit greatly from an SSRI antidepressant and Abe could use a makeover from the Fab Five.

Awaiting your direction,
Thurrston Howwell, III  

Thanks alot i can understand it's a bike.

i will be getting to you as soon as ... my client has been insturected to mail the check to you via ups. her name is Wood Alice.

thanks once again my , my agent and mechanic will proceed immediately when you send the refunds.

regards,
Martins


[Not sure what happens now since I gave him a non-existent address. I don't think UPS will even try to deliver if they can't first verify that the address exists. I may need to give him a real address just to see what the check looks like...]
 



Bike Background

I bought it, I rode it once, I did not bond with it. I was going to race it at Willow Springs, but I've decided I want a diesel for the track. I want to be in too high of a gear, lugging my way out of a corner, and still have a little something to show when I wring the throttle. So it's time for this race-bred filly to go.

The guy I bought the bike from lived in Los Angeles and only did track days. I think one of his goals was to race it but he never got that far. According to him, the bike had been lowsided only once at Streets of Willow. There is a small dent in the frame by the right footpeg to show for that event (click on last picture for close-up). Otherwise, the bike is in great shape. There are roughly 60 miles on the rebuilt top end.      

Here are the many extras included with the bike:

  1. Rear stand
  2. Front stand
  3. Extra set of rims (no rotors)
  4. PD tire warmers (used one day only)
  5. Aim My-Chron timer and beacon; spare batteries for timer included
  6. 3 front sprockets 
  7. 3 rear sprockets 
  8. 2 pistons and miscellanoues parts for top end rebuild
  9. OEM reeds (Carbon Tech reeds installed)
  10. Carb rebuild kit
  11. Needles, jets
  12. NGK Iridium spark plug
  13. Footpeg (used)
  14. Rear master cylinder (used)
  15. Brake lever
  16. Clutch lever
  17. Brake reservoir hose
  18. Fairing fittings
  19. Gas cans
  20. Miscellaneous o-rings and other stuff whose purpose I can't figure out

The bike was imported through Rising Sun Motorcycles and I have the original paperwork and manual.

If you're writing to me on behalf of someone from Nigeria, I'm not even going to bother replying. Sorry.
