Honda ad

Another great commercial after the POWER OF DREAMS that I first saw last winter. My business which started in May of 2000 dealing with expedited freight has seen Honda of America as my largest customer. I can honestly say they have been the most loyal client I have ever had. They never ask price, just take care of our problem which I have always done no matter the time of day 24/7. In all of these past 16 years I have never heard an employee speak ill of them something I can not say about GM, Ford, or Chrysler/Dodge. My automotive mechanic just down the street from me with over 30 years of service has told me the most trouble free cars are first Honda then Toyota.

I own 2 honda motorcyles ( both made in the Honda Marysville Motorcyle Plant ) and since I started ridding in 1981 half of all the motorcycles or scooters I have owned ( about 20 ) have been Hondas. A recurrent theme is none of them have left me stranded.
Darn near all of my ridding buddies own Harley's and they are always getting them fixed at my friends Harley shop. I found out this week my nickname ( which they do not call me to my face, but I would take as a badge of honer is Honda Chuck ). From time to time they ask me why I do not own a Harley. I always tell them because I want to ride every day. Also every damn one of them salivate at my Valkyrie Tourer and want to ride it.

My buddies dress up in Pirate Harley attire and that is OK in fact I like it. But that is not me. I throw on Honda shirts, Valkyrie shirts, etc. and have a nice Honda armor lined jacket also. I figure I own the best bike among our clan and by God am very proud of it.

I am not sure that Soichiro Honda could have imagined in his wildest dreams that Honda would become what it has from his original bicycle motors in 1948, but that son of a gun had a vision and look what it has become.

My only wish is that Honda would have put the resources into their motorcycle line that they did in their automotive line in this country. ( Honda is the number one employer in Ohio I believe ). They should have made their entire line of motorcycles in this country and advertised themselves as another American Motorcycle Company ( with the same advertising campaign that they did with You meet the nicest people on a Honda ) of the finest quality of motorcycles and put the dollars into it. Just my opinion . Heck they are still the world's largest two wheeled company, but I honestly think they could have been even more.
