I found these warranty cards from all my new bike purchases between the ages of 15 and 21 except my CL450K4, which I passed on to the next owner when I sold it as a senior in high school - but I did keep the crate tag from when it was shipped to the dealer I worked for at the time I bought it. Those were the days of affordable new bikes and being able to cheaply trade up if you took good care of them (and it didn't hurt to get a decent employee discount as well).

In order of purchase

That’s a great memory Tom. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks.

Yeah, after the SL175 - which I got with a little (sympathetic) help from the owner of the first Honda dealer I worked at by allowing me to trade in 2 bikes, a CL160 and a CA72, and pay the difference, it got a lot easier. Only cost me a couple hundred bucks to move up to the SL350K1 and I sold it after 5,000 miles in 4 months, then moved up to the CL450 for another few hundred. The easy times of living at home and having not much else to spend your money on...

This is just too cool.
